Wally world, autozone, pepboys, just about any where. Just look in the automotive paint section. If you still cant fins them, look for the assorment pack(not emery) they usually have higher grits inside(320,800,1000,2000) If not, ill pick some up and send it to you(with money in return) or you can send them here and Ill send them back next day
