    creating a satin, from a gloss finish..

    Nope, i actually meant 3200. I suggested that for a starting point to illustrate that you can produce various sheens with different grits. In this case he'll be "rubbing back" to a sheen, instead of "buffing up". 3200 will give a slight reduction in sheen from a high gloss to more of a...
