The primer you are using should specify. I believe 100-120 grit for the system 3 primer, 100-150 for alexseal finish primer. 120 should be a safe bet unless your primer calls for something else.

Joe - Had not yet picked up the bucket of primer until our response. You are correct. I've got SystemThree and it recommends 80-120. Much appreciated!
