sjaguar13 Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 I was looking at Home Deopot and Lowe's and neither one had 1500 grit sandpaper. They had nothing over 320. Where do you get it at? Even 1000 grit would be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

butnut Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 If you have a NAPA or any auto parts store that carries paints will have it. For regular finish work, 1200,1500 and 2000 is what you need for final sanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renablistic Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 check your local hobbyshop... you know model airplanes, boats and stuff. They use really fine paper to sand ittty bitty pieces of plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjaguar13 Posted November 26, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 Walmart didn't have it. I checked Home Depot again, and they don't have it. They do have 400 grit. It's the highest I found so far. Auto parts store didn't have anything fine, either. I don't know if there is an Ace hardware around me, I also don't know where a machine shop is. I'm going to check Napa and an auto body store after I get out of school today, but right now, I'm in my ASP class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckguitarist Posted November 27, 2003 Report Share Posted November 27, 2003 my home depot goes up to 800. and my canadian tire goes into the thousands, don't remember where it stops... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjaguar13 Posted November 27, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2003 I end up getting 800 grit from Napa for $2 and some change for 6 sheets, but I have to wait til Friday to get it. It's the highest I could find and it was the cheapest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butnut Posted November 27, 2003 Report Share Posted November 27, 2003 You won't be able to buff out 800 grit scratches...I would'nt even attempt it with my 3000 rpm buffer and cutting pads. I've never seen the fine grits in hardware stores, shops who sell body shop paint and supplies will carry it (check your yellow pages) and NAPA carries it as they sell paints too.
