        Look for an autobody/automotive paint supply, not a regular autoparts store, they'll have it.

            They might also be stocking micron sandpaper..
            5 micron is about the same as 2500 grit

            They go down to .5u and thats about 8000 grit.

            You can buy it online here but any good autobody store should stock it for cutting and buffing
