    From the factory there shouldn't* be any, and when refitting you don't need any, the rubber holds it in. But you can use a bonda yes.

    the scratches left by a 320 can be a little too harsh for some paints to cover.

    The 320, 500 800 is a common one, but im not sure if this lad is doing base and clear or 2k dg.

    If your doing 2kdg personally i would use 500's allround as opposed to 320's we used to use 320's on vans and if you look carefully you can see the 320 DA marks.

    usual course of action for me is

    80's any filler etc for repair work, 180s again said filler repair and surrounding area. 320's to feather out the 180's marks to stop it from sinking back.

    Primer over 320's Obv you will use red scotch for further feathering, we use 400's to flat the primer, followed by 800's grey wet scotch to clean, dry grey scotch followed by panel wipe mask then panel wipe then paint.

    Depending on the paint as said.. you can fook the 800's off you can also fook the 400's and 500's off if you want and just use a 320 and red scotch but thats only if your using 2k Direcgloss and you will need 2/3 good passes over the full car.

    Oh and dont forget to blow the bugger off after scotch and before panel wipe :D

    500 will be ok even under silver,red scotch under primer and grey under colour unless it's a dark colour or direct gloss/solid colour then red will be ok,

    Don't waste time scotching over sanded areas only in bits that the sander can't get.

    Blow the car with air to remove crap like dust,dry dirt etc before panel wipe,(door shuts,engine bay,wheel arches etc)
