can anyone tell me what number sand paper I would need to sand fine dust particles out of a finished paint job. I know that I'll need to re-paint the car, but I don't want to sand away both the paint and the primer.

about 300 should work.

For tiny dust particles, I'd use 1600-2000 grit sandpaper. Then just put another wet coat of paint on the car.

:confused: ummm...no. That'd probably sand through the paint really quick. :screwy:

im just saying i used 300 on little bubbles that i had in my paint on my R32 just a few minutes ago, it didnt sand down to the car (i dont use primer most of the time) so thats why i said 300
2000 grit is about the same as a piece of note book paper one time i was using it on a car and my brother (who works on real cars) says to me, you would be better off using a piece of note book paper on that car, so thus, my conclusion is 300 should work good.
