I'm glad you found someone willing to provide you with samples. The higher grit sandpapers last quite a while. I bought a few sets from here:

Micro Mesh Finishing Products

I have had great results and the grits go from 1500 to 12,000 and pricing starts at $15USD. They're pretty light weight so, hopefully shipping doesn't kill it for you. The sample pack is what I bought.

Those are great. You shouldn't need anything other than that. I have a set of those and they work just fine.

now if only I could get some Micromesh belts....for my grinder.
