What grit to you recomend for between most of the coats? does sound like a lot of work, but I suppose a weeks worth of time now to finish it right will make me much happer down the road with it. |

Don't remember specifically, something like 750. Not rough enough to take much paint off but rough enough to take off paint based protrusions (e.g. drips, roller edge marks). |

Hmm... I heard that you should use around 300 grit for between coats. Also, do use two coats of primer. I didn't on one of my cabs and regretted it when I started painting. One or two parts of the cab that I thought I covered well started sucking in paint and giving a poor finish. |
