what are you trying to do?

1500-2000 grit will smooth out the clear coat-removing orange peel and dust

400-600 grit will remove the clear coat--smooth out primer in preparation for the base coat

180--220--320 will remove the base coat and primer

80---100 grit is very coarse and is used for rough shaping body filler and removing everything down to the metal
