Unless you're working bondo- or trying to get to bare metal- there is NO NEED to put anything less than 220 on your trucks finish. I use 80, then 180, to mechanically strip paint. If I am prepping to paint with a sealer- I'll 220 it, then 400....without a sealer, i'll wetsand with 600 grit. Paint finishes are ALL about the prepwork.
