   Nope 1200 isnt classed as a sand Paper itts classed as a polish and its too smooth to paint over.

   Lol it says it on halfords and you believe it lol.
   
   Use 150 then 320 then 600 you never need any lower than 150 or higher than 800 for prep.
   
   All painted parts you can rub down with 600 and paint without primer. For the rough bits on your alloys use 150 then primer leave for 24 hours then rub down with 600 then paint.
   
   All bare plastics use plastic primer then rub down with 600 then paint.
