Also, go in every direction, kind of like * up and down, left and right, and both diagonals. Keep doing that, you don't want to go in one direction too long as you're trying to level the paint in all angles, not just one.

Wedley is correct.
For my CF hood I started with 2000 then ended up switching to 1500 because 2000 is like rubbing it with paper.
