Scratches when sanding

I would 320 dry DA

Only if A: one is competent with D.A. and B: time is critical
It can go horribly wrong!

have you found out the cause of the marks ?

Almost certain its contamination, probably not washing the panel enough before wet and dry. Its my first time spraying , bit nervous of runs so I'm not putting enough paint on and seems not to be fusing into a flat surface. Theres a lot to take into account , skill comes with experience. Thanks for all the advice

also if you are getting orange peel texture something is not right ie air pressure, distance, paint viscosity

How do we know how thickly the op is putting the paint on ???

I knew what you meant mate But what i'm getting at is no one knows how thick the OP is putting it on at, A lot of new sprayers often put it on real thin as scared of a run and 3 coats of thin is easy to go through !!!
