i used a 320 i believe when i sanded mine down..that should be good..i sanded mine down to the bare metal and primered it..

Yep, 320 grit to start. Get higher when you want less coarse.

I like using 1000 grit. So sexy.

/\ What they said, but if you decide to take it down to bare metal you should def coat it with self etching primer first.
