   I start with 800 grade & work through the grades ending up at 1500 grade,before spraying 1st coat wipe over with white spirit.

   You don't have to go from 800 and work upto 1500 mate, waste of time. 800 pads are good and then just use primer, covers the scratches easily. Try use high-build primer, will give a better finish once the lacquer is applied.
