Finer grits and maybe rubbing compounds will rather be found in a car parts or painter store.

cant find them anywhere around here, good price too.
in the box comes sheets, approx 3 pads per sheet.
its enough to last a single user many many many years or a pro shop a few years.
so...
i have
Gray - 800 Grit
Green - 600 Grit
Burgandy - 320 Grit
anything higher i can achieve with polishing the base grits.

How would you go about a 1000 grit matte?

Blue pad.
I got a bunch in BJ's Wharehouse. They were attached to sponges which makes it very convenient for use on a spinner. Sized about 3"x 5", in packs of 15 or 20 (I forget which). They also had sponges with green pads attached. I got a packet of each. Wouldn't be surprised if Costco also had them. They're in the kitchen supplies section. We also use them at the kitchen sink.

Red: 400
Green: 600
Grey: 800
Blue: 1000
White: 1200
They sell blue ones at my local grocery store. Maybe I could just get some of those.

White pads may be 1200 or 1500 grit, but it's VERY hard to get them to make an impression on the hard surface of a resin or urethane or polyester bowling ball. I wouldn't bother to get them to change the surface of a ball. You'll virtually stop the motor of a spinner before a white pad affects the surface to any significant degree. NOT a good thing!
Some people have used them with Track's Clean and Dull to clean a dull or a polished particle WITHOUT affecting the surface's grit or polish level.

Good point... Ok, let's try this: Where is the best place to get Scotch-Brite brand pads of different colors and grits other than eBay auctions?

Dude...WTF? Everyone here has tried to help and have given you several choices on how to aquire them. Here are several choices:
Ebay
Gilaz33
Home Depot(has some not all)
Your local Autobody supply store
Your local autobody supply store is the best chance to find most of the grits. Not the auto parts store, but the supply store like sells car paints and bondo ect. They usually carry maroon(320)..Green(600)..Grey(800)..Blue(1000). They also carry a full range of wet/dry sandpaper.
