Best grit for 2K solid white

[ajlelectronics]

I am going to be painting the Kitten tomorrow in solid 2K white. I asked my local bodyshop what grit I can get away with for final flatting and he has said 600 minimum. I have done it to 320 so far and then given it a (too heavy) celly guide coat. I have tried some 800 but it is making slow progress. I have plenty of 500 Abranet, is this going to be an issue to go that low? I was under the impression that 2K solid could cope with 320 at a pinch?

600 wet /320 dry

So are you saying that I could go over with 500 Abranet on a D/a and hand block for good results Steve?

I would say 500 dry would be ok.
I always went 400 dry on the DA then give it a quick once over with 800 wet. but ive painted over 400 dry with no problems.
