    DD1D9BD7-3269-4A3D-BFA6-93BC355904BC.jpeg I blocked my primer to 320 and want to make sure I don’t get sand scratches on the top coat which is semi gloss black urethane. Will this be fine enough??

    Thanks -Abone.
     
  2. What grit equivalent is it?
    I generally stop at 400 on single stage but will finish with 500 for black

    That is the unknown part, what grit is “superfine”?

    Sand primer with 400 grit prior to painting.
    Some folks let the body work sit for a week or two after priming to avoid shrinkage
    problems later on.

    I'd bet "superfine" is finer than 320
    Don't use products without knowing exactly what they are. Costly mistakes can result. That sounds like a home improvement store product.
    I suggest 400 followed with sealer.

    Ah Ha!! 500-600 grit was the number I was looking for, not sure why I wasn't smart enough to find it.

    Thanks, -Abone.

    I did the edges of the engine cover of my V8Corvair. I sanded them with a red 3M scrubby pad...…….pretty coarse. I used duplicolor trunk paint on the edges. You can't see any scratches in the paint

  10. Those sponges are great for sanding louvers and fine details!
