Suppose they are both mild abrasives

  I'd use 2000 wet n dry as you'll find it easier to polish it back up after flatting  ,  :daumenhoch:

Try Turtle Wax BUG & TAR  - it's softer than T-cut and will help smooth down the powdercoat and also leave a sweet shine after - if you haven't tried it then get your self a bottle - it has a degreaser in it and works wonders on white frames to bring them back, also great for chrome - put it in your cleaning box of gear

cheers B  ;)

I've flatted my white PK frame with 1500 to get rid of some of the "FLA" effect that powder (or paint) can leave.

Then went over it with 2000 followed by T-Cut on a mop and to finish with auto glym polish again wet mop'd

Remember its only a thin coat of paint so you can rub it away very easy  :-[

Sam's right it takes forever  :'(

And you'll get the worse case of w&nkers cramp in your hands ever.... >:D
