Exterior 450 Water-Based White Topcoat

General Finishes NEW Exterior 450 White is a water-based exterior-rated pigmented coating for use on vertical surfaces such as outdoor kitchens, entry doors, garage doors, and windows.

What is the best sandpaper or abrasive to use for finish sanding?

Preparation and Sanding

Finish sanding is the process of sanding between or before the final coats of topcoat. There are several options.

Be careful about just using numbers. For instance, the 220 grit sanding PAD is equivalent to 400 grit SANDPAPER. Sanding pads from different brands have similar names but different grits. Also a note on sanding pads - we like to abrade new ones a bit on raw wood and not use them straight out of the box. Used 220 sanding pads are perfect for that final sand before topcoat.
