Alot of it depends on if he is gonna seal it or not.

Is he gonna give you a "scuff and shoot"?? what kind of quality that you are looking for and whats is a "deal" to you?

What your painter prob is going to do is let you wetsand it with 400 grit so that he could apply sealer then basecoat. 400 is fine, 220 grit seem a little too coarse unless for sealer then paint.

Yeah, don't go 220. Keep it at 320 or 400.
