Abrasive & Sandpaper

Abrasives & Sandpaper

Sandpaper, emery cloth, and abrasive discs come in a wide variety of grits that offer different levels of sanding and finishing, and choosing the best type of sandpaper or other abrasives for the task is essential to getting your next body repair or refinishing job done right. If you are shaping filler or removing rust and old paint, then using a sandpaper grit of 36, 60, and 80 is common for quicker, more aggressive shaping and media removal. Medium grits like 180, 220, 400, and 600 offer smooth finishing, and are more useful for wet sanding and prepping surfaces for paint. There is also super fine-grit sandpaper for color sanding before compounding, buffing, or polishing. At O'Reilly Auto Parts we carry all types of sandpaper, sanding sponges, and more for every step of the body repair process.

Metalwork and Polishing Abrasives

For more intensive repairs, including shaping and cutting metal or grinding welds, O'Reilly Auto Parts carries a variety of options to help you complete your repair or fabrication. Cutting wheels, grinding wheels, and flap discs can provide clean cuts on materials like sheet metal, fiberglass, and fasteners, or can grind metal from the surface to prepare it for refinishing or smoothing before further bodywork. From die grinders and angle grinders to flat discs, concave discs and more, we carry the sizes, grits, and disc types for any fabrication or repair project.

When heavy-duty polishing and material removal is required, emery cloth is designed with a fabric backing that includes adhesive-bonded metallic or synthetic particles for increased durability over traditional sandpaper. We also carry abrasive-interface and back-up pads for reducing tool vibration to improve cuts and finishes. If you are preparing to weld, remove a stuck bolt, or cutting tubing or metal stock, check out our variety of electric and pneumatic cutting tools, cut-off discs and wheels, and more.
