I think a 1500 wet, then a good cut and polish, make sure the paint has a week or so to cure properly, use an electric polisher and DONT let it sit still for very long or you will BURN the paint.

Just been on these forums too much, and played with cars for as long as i can recall

P.S. if the paint looking accross it in the light looks super smooth, then skip the sandpaper, and you only do it really lightly and really wet.

When I was 18 I started out with a TC Cortina, that got stripped to bits and put back together.
