Also... do NOT sand to 1000 grit and expect paint to stick. For a non metallic base coat sand to 400 grit and for a metallic sand to 600 grit. The paint needs mechanical adhesion and 1000 grit scratches aren't big enough to allow the paint to adhere to the surface properly. Otherwise it will just peel off in a few weeks.


Interesting, I thought that automotive paint was meant to be sanded in stages ending in super high/fine grit?? For base coats are you just supposed to lay on a ton of coats then sand down to super fine before spraying clear? At what point are you supposed to smooth out those deep 400 grit scratches?
