For bondo or body filler (car not painted) I typically start with a 40 - 80 grit to rough it in, then move to a finer paper. posted:  May 5, 2009   embarracuda      80 grit to start then finer paper as you go . You do not need to remove the paint to metal but it has to smooth to the touch before painting any sanding marks will show. Black is very hard it shows EVERY THING you missed and any dings or dents. posted:  May 7, 2009
