I tried Home Depot, Target, Shucks, and few other stories but couldn't find any? Where can I find those sand paper from?

 

Grip sandpaper?! Don't know about that, but if you're looking for 3000 grit sandpaper, that's pretty fine stuff. Have you tried auto repair suppliers?

There is a merger in your future.

 

oops!!~ thats what i meant...3000 grit sandpaper

 

thanks for your help but I'm not big fan of ordering online...takes too long just to get sandpaper???

 

I will try that....

 

Try a hobby shop! Cuz I have to use those to sand my car model everytime.

 

i bought a bunch of random grits on ebay. thats probably the cheapest and most convenient place to get it. i take it you are sanding your clearcoat?

 

Hmmm, mods must be on break

:ibtl:

 

I've gotten 2000 at AutoZone before, you might see what they have.

That's the grit I use to hone my plane irons and chisels. Makes tool steel as smooth as a mirror.

 

3000???? might as well just use toilet paper! If anything you would have to go to a body/paint shop.

BTW- whats it for?

 

It was for my touch up paint.

I found this method so I was going to try doing this!!~
Here's how I would do it:
First you need paper matches, a nick sander, touch up paint, clear coat paint (optional), blue masking tape, rubbing alcohol, 3000 grit wet sandpaper and sanding block, small bucket of water, swirl mark remover, and polish/glaze.

First clean the scratch with the rubbing alcohol. Put the blue masking tape around the scratch. Then make a few passes with the nick sander to clean any stuck on crap in the scratch. Wipe down the scratch with the rubbing alcohol again. Apply the paint with the back end of a paper matchstick. Don't brush it in, just kind of let it flow into the scratch. You'll need to build up layers, letting each one dry before you paint in the next one (at least 15 mins). Build up the paint so it's a little above surface level. Once the last coat of paint is dry (if you use clearcoat, it'll be the last coat), then wrap your 3000 grit sandpaper around your sanding block and dip it in water. Sand down the scratch to the surface level, keeping the sandpaper well wet. Once it's dry, use the Swirl mark remover. If that doesn't get rid of the sandpaper marks, you might have to use a Fine Cut Cleaner. Then polish. That's all ( ) there is to it.

 

I already went there and did see 2000 but I wanted 3000. I also tried few auto repair shop, auto supply shop, and paint shop but nothing yet.

 

hahahaha...nah

 

3000 grit is basically like rough paper. i've used 2500 and thats pretty much all you can really use on paint.

you might want to just buy a thing of rubbing compound, some meguirs goo and buff it a lot , i would figure that wouuld probably be better than 3000 grit anyway.
