Just wondering what a good choice or grits for all your bodywork

So far I have:

80 grit DA 6"
220 Grit DA 6"

80 Grit Long board PSA

600 grit wet 8x11 sheets

Good on the DA.
I like to have 36 long to rough in the filler before hitting it with 80. Some people just use 80.
I sand primer the first time with 240 wet, reprime and sand with 600 wet.

A little red scotch brite to make it Puuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrffffffffffffffeeeeeeee eeeeeeccccccccccccttttttt.

OK guys thanks, I was thinking of getting some 320 or 400 grit to do the final blocking with and the possibly hit it with 600 wet.

What Grits?
Damn Yankees! ;)
I thought y'all were talkin' about breakfast. :clonk:

This is just my opinion, I'm sure it works well but 240 wet then reprime then 600 wet may be a little excessive. We usually do 220 dry, then reprime if needed, if it all comes out straight we just go ahead and 400 wet. 600 wet is a good idea if you will be using a metallic, although 400 will be fine if you make sure you sand it good. Anyway, I like to have 36, 80, 180, and 220 for long board paper, and the same for DA minus the 36. If you don't have a mud hog, I would suggest purchasing one. This will make roughing out filler a matter of 5 min to do a large area, and getting 36 and/or 80 grit for that.

I've been using my DA with 80 to cut the filler surface to contour, then block it with 80 to get it flat and switch to 120 - 180 to feather it the rest of the way. Apply 2K to fill all the sand marks and level using a long block and 220 dry. Haven't used anything less than 80 grit since I finished stripping the paint - and even then, the 36 was just to cut the clear to let the paint stripper get in.
