PRODUCT FAQ
-
What grit size is this abrasive sheet, and what is it typically used for?
This is P800 grade, which is a fine grit abrasive. It's excellent for finish sanding, smoothing between coats, and preparing surfaces for painting or staining on wood, metal, and composite materials.
-
How many sheets come in each order, and what size are they?
Each sheet measures 9 inches by 11 inches, and you'll receive 250 total sheets—that's 50 sheets per pack with 5 packs included in every case.

What makes 3M Gold Abrasive sheets different from standard abrasives?
3M Gold uses our advanced mineral formulation that cuts faster and lasts longer than traditional abrasives, while also producing a finer finish and creating less dust, which means better results and a cleaner work environment.
The 3M Gold Abrasive Sheet 216U/255P represents a versatile solution engineered specifically to address the diverse sanding requirements encountered in professional panel shop environments. This premium abrasive product has been developed to deliver reliable performance across an extensive range of surface preparation tasks, from initial paint removal to final finishing operations.
Advanced Mineral and Resin Formulation3M Gold Abrasives are manufactured through a precision coating process that combines high-quality mineral particles with advanced resin systems. This sophisticated engineering approach results in abrasive products that demonstrate extended working life compared to conventional alternatives. The durable construction enables efficient material removal across multiple substrate types, including painted surfaces, primer layers, fiberglass reinforced materials, metal components, and Sheet Molding Compound (SMC) materials commonly found in automotive and industrial applications.
Consistent Finishing QualityA distinguishing characteristic of 3M Gold Abrasives is their capability to produce uniform surface finishes with minimal variation throughout the sanding process. This consistency is attributed to the precision manufacturing standards applied during production.
Paper Backing and Coating Features- Aluminum oxide abrasive grains bonded to lightweight A-weight paper backing
- Open coat construction that reduces dust and particle accumulation during use
- Load-resistant coating formulation that extends product longevity
- More aggressive cutting action compared to closed coat alternatives of equivalent grit levels
- Suitable for hand sanding and finishing applications requiring lightweight, flexible substrates
The open coat design and load-resistant properties work synergistically to minimize material buildup on the abrasive surface, thereby extending the effective working life while simultaneously facilitating faster material removal rates for improved operational efficiency.
