I always sand until all the scratches courser than 400 grit are gone even if I have to go to bare metal and re prime. Sanding is scratching off the paint. Using 1000 grit is still scratching off paint. Just harder to see with your eye.

Best not to use a finer grit than what is given on the spec sheet, because you might not get good adhesion of the topcoat. For example the instruction sheet for PPG Omni MTK acrylic urethane says to use 500 grit for wet sanding surfacer. I sometimes use 400, then 600 prior to topcoating, never finer than that. The topcoat will hide those scratches. Any visible scratches left by 4-600 are caused by improper sanding.
