I need to prep the surface with no less than 120 grit or the paint will peel. If it's too smooth it's like it won't grab the surface.
Thanks in advance.

220 is plenty of "tooth", the paint will cover the scratches. Any more grit and you can see the swirls through the paint. If you have to sand the paint between coats, then sand the paint with 320
