I do wet-sanding with 800 - 2000 sanding during my process. I typically do 2-3 coats of paint in a very clean location, with a pre-sanded product. I have been doing different tests with the paint to try and get the best effect with the metallic fleck paint that I use. I think my best effects have been less sanding during the painting processes. After I get the right paint, I go right to clear coat without sanding. I do many light coats (8-10+) and at the end I sand with 2000 grit sand paper. Then I do my polish and buffing. I am still not certain on the best order in the sanding priority, it is usually trial and error for me. Sorry this isn't very clear. One of my next tutorials will be my Duplicolor / Spray can paint techniques that I use.
I tried to do research on sanding but it can be difficult to get the information you need. At Canadian Tire some people recommended starting at 220 grit, some at 800, and I just don't want to wreck it. I will try experimenting and hopefully find some success soon.
For paint specifically, once the whole thing has been sanded smooth, I use 800 - 2000.
