800 is a good base for keying the surface for repaint, then down to 1000 grit used wet. Alot of bodyshops use 800 grade to key for repainting. It all depends on how the surface is that you are painting.

Imagine this..........Sanding a Pea with 40 grit and sanding a pea with 2000 grit or sanding a tiny raised bit of paint flake with 40 grit or 2000 grit!!! :D
