What grit sandpaper????

Morning peeps.

Finished glossing skirting, frames & doors now, but still got a few nibs that need removing.

What grit sandpaper to use & how best to go about the task without scratching paintwork. Many thanks

the whole idea of sandpaper is to scratch the surface

by 'a few nibs' are we talking about bits of dirt/grit in the paint that has left a tiny bump ?

Water or oil based paint?

I would use 180g or 240g Abranet mesh. Not cheap but great for soft paint.

while the paint is still soft (it is for week or so) just pick the grit out with a sharp blade and prees the paint back into place with the back of your nail - I have done this a couple of times and it worked better than i thought

or just polish it all up with some wax
