    What products are you using? Check the tech data sheet online for the specific product, the info should be there. The only thing you would not sand is a wet-on-wet urethane sealer designed for application with urethane basecoat color.

    Generally speaking, in my opinion-

    If spray can painting, 600-800 wet.

    If using a catalyzed urethane primer-surfacer followed by catalyzed urethane sealer, 320 dry or 400 wet. Use a red scuff pad where you can't sand.

    If spraying basecoat refinish paint directly over sanded primer-surfacer, 500-600 dry or 600-800 wet. Use a grey scuff pad where you can't sand.
    All Grand Prix, all the time. 69 Model J, 99 GT & GTP coupes. All junk, haha.
