DA Sander p800/p1000 discs??

[cubensis]

I have been looking for these all over and unless i want to buy a massive bulkbuy i can't see any. Can anyone recommend a place to get these from?

I have a Electric DA Sander, 125mm, 5 or 6 holes (cant remember of hand) and velcro backed, im close to the final coat of rustoleum and could do with these to finish the final coat.

Thanks!

Used the google button loads, i can find one like these but they only go upto 240 grit, am i missing something? i wanted more llike 800, is it unlikely i'd get these because i can't find em! Thanks for your reply.

Sounds like quite a fierce solution usining machinery for fine grade finishing.

I would however consider using a buffing disc with that and rubbing compound after youve finished

Thanks tatty chap, my thought was to use the finest grade machinery sanding in between initial coats in the hope that a manual, very fine wet and dry sand would give the desired results. Do you think this is achievable?

My thinking behind this is, when sanding all that i'm doing is removing the high spots and making the paint all one level, so whether this is done by hand or machinery shouldn't really matter. There is burning paint to consider but this really doesnt seem to be happening as im using the DA Sander on speed "1". I was hoping on the last coat the buff and manual sand should give it that "manual" look (i.e. smoother and minimal orange peel due to the fact i'll be looking at the paint much more by doing it manually and taking out the bad bits). Like i say this is only my thinking and i'm only just learning this quite steep learning curve so feel free to point out my errors!

The reason you cant find um is no one uses as da on that fine a grade even if you did find any it would wreck anything you have done all ready!! ie sctracth the buggery out of it ! Good old hand job!
