4.  What kind of sandpaper should be used for getting a car ready for paint?

(This question was asked  fr0m a video demonstrating how to final sand by hand wet sanding.)


Your Answer:  If the paint is in excellent condition, there is no need to sand.  Just clean and spray.

That is not correct.  You must sand to provide mechanical adhesion.  If you did not sand, it would lose adhesion and peel off.

Here is how I answered the question: Wet/Dry 400-600 grit.  I prefer 400 for wet sanding by hand.  I prefer 400 when sanding by hand.
