HF may not have it in the store, mine didn't they wanted me to order it. I was told to check auto part stores. First I check the big name like auto zone and advance auto parts. they were the same had to order it. I started checking "mom and pop" auto stores and then I found it. just ask for a AO grit, it will come in a big bag like the size of a bag of rock salt. However most likely they are going to carry a low grit. As that is what is used when blasting a car for auto body work. At first I got a very dark grey result but as ray said if you drop the pressure you will get a lighter result. Personally IF I am going to sand blast a blade I like the darker grey color its different .....a satin finish can be done in other ways little bit different look but just play around with the pressure youll find out what you like,
