napa has wet dry sandpaper in grits from 80 to 2500 there is six half sheets in a package for 5 dollars and change if they don't have it in stock ask them to order it
if you are not in the USA your local auto parts store will have the same thing
hope this helps
oh on this type of plastic don't use anything less than 400 or it will leave scratches that you will see when you paint
i sand to 1500 then use a primer filler very lightly and resand
the same thing i do on 1 to 1 cars
and like Espeefan says use water
