Hey Brother Woody..I can't give a scientific reason why but wet sanding does feel smoother to me..My best guess is that the water(or soap and water) acts as a lubricant. Now.........Provided you don't use too fine a sandpaper I think the tooth for painting should be fine..no need to go past 320-400 though

about 30 years ago I had my 1967 firebird painted at Maaco..I did the body work prior to the paint job and wet sanded it to 600...it was actually shiny..the first thing Maaco did was to rough it up...
