I'm the opposite of all you guys. My one proshop has the gray and maroon ones, which i use the grey bc its 800 grit. I had a maroon one but gave it to my mom bc it is just to much.

Light Grey = 800 grit
Blue = 1000 grit
If you want the 800 grit grey (generally hard to find), check out:
www.wildoctopus.com
For most applications, the 400 grit burgundy, 600 grit green, and 800 grit grey is all you'll need.

Break out the Tan Pad and lets burn up the shot! Might have to pick up some blue for the shop.

"Oh, no, not again!"
The availability of all these products is very regional (North, Southwest, West,Midwest, central, Pacific, whatever). You may find them, you may not. Some say they're in Auto Stores (Auto-ZOne, Pep Boys, etc.), in the wholesale stores (Costco, BJ, Sam's et al), in supermarkets.
Don't go crazy if you can't find them.

Again, and to repeat what I had said before and what "only bowling" echoed, go to this site for good prices ... 20 to a box:
Laybzz, this depends if a person wants a whole box or not. The maroon, gray, and white cost $14.20, $14.21, and $16.73 respectively per box. To get these 3 colors and still no green pads, it would cost a person $45.14 plus shipping to get three colors of pads, so on the total cost with shipping included, the cost will be over $50. To get green pads, the cost is probably around another $15, so to get the 4 popular pads, the final cost would be over $65. I doubt most people would want to spend that much money or want that many pads at one time unless they run a pro shop.
