oh wow, you might want to go over it with a 600 or 800 after words it will make it a little more smooth

Generally, everyone recommends sanding with 400 grit prior to painting. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

ok...well I'm just going off my experience......every thing I've done so far has done great no probs.....but ok it's cool, I'm not saying you can't use 400 grit. I just normally use 600 grit......but you are right coomer, if you use i high grit it does have a tendancy to cause adhesion problems. The only time I normally use 800 is to smooth out the car with a light sanding after the original sanding.
