that's pretty overkill
i'd go up to 800-1000 then hit it with the polishing compound
Not necessarily. If you want a SHINE that looks legit, then youll go down that low. I went to 2800 on my raptor clutch and stator cover and you couldnt see any marks, unless of course, if you have a huge buffer like 1bad442, then youll be good to go and wont have to go that low.
