A 220 grit sandpaper is much rougher than the 80 grit
Second Answer By PainterJohn
No, The Correct Answer Is: just the opposite of what you stated. 220 grit sandpaper is very, very fine. In fact, it is finer than a common emery board you sometime see a women using on her fingernails. Oh, and never use 80 grit sandpaper on your fingernails, because in a very short time your fingers would be sanded down to little nubs....:-)
Sandpaper grits range from coarse (around 40-60 grit) for heavy sanding and removing material, to medium (around 80-120 grit) for general sanding, and fine (around 150-240 grit) for smoothing and finishing surfaces. Ultra-fine grits (above 240) are used for polishing and achieving a very smooth finish.

I have used 320 grit all-purpose sand paper. But if you find this isn't removing the brass, you can go to a 240 grit or so. Remember you are only scuffing the surface, it is just to remove the gloss so the primer has something to adhere to. I have used 320 grit all-purpose sand paper.

The different grits of sandpaper available for sanding various surfaces range from coarse (lower grit numbers) to fine (higher grit numbers). Coarse grits, such as 40-60, are used for heavy sanding and removing material quickly. Medium grits, like 80-120, are good for general sanding and smoothing surfaces. Fine grits, such as 150-240, are used for finishing and polishing surfaces.
If the furniture is painted then you would need approx a 60-80 grit sandpaper, then gradually move to a finer paper. When paint is almost gone finish with about a 320 or 400 grit paper so it is completely smooth. If you want to repaint then you don't need to remove all the paint unless you are painting over an enamel paint with a latex. (oil based vs. water based). You can however prime it with a good primer once the wood is smoothed. Or if you remove all paint you can then stain it. before you paint/stain your wood be sure and remove all dust from the wood with a clean damp cloth. let wood dry and then proceed. good luck and wear a dust mask :-)
I'm sorry, but I don't have access to specific product databases or order numbers. To find the correct order number for 240 grit Polish-O-Ray, I recommend checking the manufacturer's website, contacting customer service, or referring to your previous purchase records.

For fingernails, it's best to use a fine-grit emery board, typically rated between 180 to 240 grit. This type is gentle enough to shape nails without causing damage or splitting. Avoid coarse-grit boards, as they can be too abrasive for the delicate structure of fingernails. Additionally, consider using a glass or crystal nail file for a smoother finish and less wear on the nail.
