All paint companys list what they want the final blocking to be.

Don.t go to fine the paint needs the FINE scratches to stick to somewhere between 400 and 600 should be fine.

If the body isn't that bad,i usually will block with 220 wet on a 9 inch block.Then go to 400. If its rough you might need to start with 80-120 grit,reprime then go 220 then 400.
