provide sufficient information but, because the
F.E.P.A. Standards (European) have been re-

Refer to the chart and note that:
• P 600 abrasive grade sandpaper in the Euro-
pean Standards (F.E.P.A.) correlates to a 360
abrasive grade sandpaper in the American
Standards
• P 1200 abrasive grade sandpaper (500-600
American Standards) would be used to ob-
tain the extremely fine sanding required for
dual coat finishes
