Are you going to paint it or leave it primer. The 1000 grit paper will make it look better but it will not be good to paint over. If you are painting, then 600 grit will work for a single stage paint.

I once had a 71 Chevy Nova that I used 28 cans of Krylon Fire Engine Red on, let it set for a month and rubbed it with rubbing compound and then polishing compound and it looked very good. Wish I had a photo of it now.
