Re: [Chrysler300] Tedius task of detailed sanding

I am not a professional, but I have painted a few 
cars over the years.  I have always stopped at 
around 640 wet sanding grit for the final 
coats.  If you are going to clear coat, don't 
sand the final base coat at all.  I do recommend 
a seal coat after primer, especially if you are 
not going down to bare metal.  There could be a 
reaction between modern solvents and those of the 60s.
