Default Good place for automotive paint supplies?

Does anyone have a recommended place I should check out to buy automotive paint supplies?


I'm looking for a decent paint gun and 1000-1500 grit sandpaper. I know I can find the gun elsewhere....but so far no luck on the sandpaper.

I'm pretty sure you can get 1000 grit at Pepboys or something.

there is a supply house in old town Herndon VA ,
It across from Jimmy's Old town tavern , AKA the corner of Elden and Spring st,
it back in that area with a bunch of little shops behind the old railroad house and the public building ,
they have all the body work stuff you need, from bondo to 10000 grit sandpaper, and all the tools, I got some special wax/cutter from them .

then stop at jimmy's and grab a beer

-geoff

Oh and the place is kinda hard to find, all you see is the loading dock of the store..but its there
