What should be the final grit sandpaper on primer before spraying the color coat?

I am finishing up the body work on my car and am getting ready to spray the color coat on it. The base in a PPG Epoxy Primer / sealer. How sine of a sand papar should I use when block / wet sanding the primer before I spray on the color. The Color coat is an Acrylic paint.
