Roughly equivalent to 1000–1200 Grit (US CAMI standard). Why the numbers differ
01 · Where it fits
Where P2500 sits in the sequence
Before
Pre-sand with P2000 – the jump to P2500 is no more than double, so the scratches disappear.
Ultra-fine range
P1200–P5000: Removing dust nibs, runs and paint defects, usually wet. Then polish – the scratches are so fine that the polish takes them out.
After
Carry on with P3000 until the surface is as fine as the next job needs.

FAQs about P2500
What is P2500 sandpaper used for?
Ultra-fine finish: Smooth out the finest scratches, cut polishing time.
Is P2500 coarse or fine?
P2500 belongs to the ultra-fine range (P1200 to P5000): finish before polishing. The higher the number, the finer the grit.
Which grit comes after P2500?
After P2500 comes P3000. Never more than double the number per step – that way the finer grit removes the scratches of the coarser one.
Should P2500 be used wet or dry?
On paint usually wet: from P800 the water cools, flushes away the swarf and makes the scratch pattern finer and more even. Use waterproof sheets or film discs for this – paper goes soft. P2500 also works dry with dust extraction, but clogs faster.
Which grit comes before P2500?
Before P2500, sand with P2000 (or finer). Jump straight to P2500 from too coarse a grit and you won't get the scratches out.
Not sure P2500 is right?
The finder asks about material, machine and goal – and tells you the grit and product.
