[QUOTE="singlespeed, post: 72808, member: 264"] As the Gordini alloys have a polished finish, any sanding marks would show through the clear laquer, hence a fine grit (2000) as mentioned by jra3d to blend the finish into the machined lip. For a painted finish, 800 grit will leave a finish smooth enough to not show sanding marks through the paint, but rough enough to allow the paint to stick You could easily get 200 up to 800 grade wet and dry from any motor factors but 2000 and above would probably need ordering online unless a local body shop has some... Or I could post you a sheet ;) [/QUOTE]
