    Was reading the headlight thread from Toto. Where can I get 600 & 2000 grit sandpaper? I understand I need wet/dry sandpaper.. not all purpose sandpaper, for wood or dry wall. This wet/dry sandpaper is black right?
    I have XMT #3 on hand will that do the trick if they are not pitted too bad? :shead:
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Tonya, check in the phone book for autobody supply shops in your area, they will carry it.

    Theres a PPG paint supply store very close to me that carries all kind of cool stuff for paint like that. There may be one in your area. Also like they said strauss and autozone or pepboys, maybe even napa.

    Meguiar's has their own 2000 grit. It's great stuff and has very good quality control so the grit is consistant and even. ADS sell it by the sheet.

    If your local Napa carries paint/paint supplies, they'll have 2000 grit....

    I have both the 3m variant and also the Meguiars brand.
    The meguiars paper if I recall, is made by Nikken ....which is supposedly one of the better brands out there FWIW. It does have nikken logoed all over the backside of the Meguiars ones.

    As far as which brand is better, I've only used meguiars on car paint.

    Mirka's another brand that comes to mind as well that is on par with the Nikken brand.
