Default Sanding

hi I managed to spray my Merc today with Tamiya primer but somehow there are a couple of places where a piece of fluff went on the wet paint it's not bad but it may show a mark when I top coat and lacquer so I thought a very light sanding then touch up with primer but I don't know which grade to get? ie 2500 what should I get and use please many thanks

I'd go with something between 600 to 1000 wet sand paper, depending how bad the marks are. Make sure the primer is completely dry and wet sand it. I think 2500 would load up to fast. This question should have went under body shop tech farther down on the main page. you might look through the threads in that section for more and better info. we have some serious paint wizards on here.
