Really.
I start every repair i do with 120grit, quickest and easiest way to remove damage, feather ut the paint rings or flatten the paint. Finish with 400 for primer so all sanding makes will be hidden.
1000 for paint.

naaaaaaaa, all of that but moved up the grit scale. 120 can and does cut too far.

1000 for paint prep. 1200 for paint. 1500 for flatting.

sanding sucks but it the only way

I try spreading it out over few days, if it gets too boring

Really sounds like a bad idea, the Chemical Brothers.

I agree with Ratty - the Angels of Abralon are your (flexible) friends.
