If your sanding it down to the urethane. Use 80-100 then go to finer grit as you get closer. I used 340 grit once I got close and I used sandable ppg primer/filler. For a really smooth finish use a wet scotch bright pad.

I'm currently rebuilding my nose, and I used a dual action air sander with 200 grit, then I wet sanded with 400 and 600 grit. Make sure you use a primer that is made for plastic pieces... It needs to be flexible so it wont crack up and ruin all your work.
