            It used to be that when I purchased two and three inch sanding discs, I would write the grit size on the
velcro with a marker. It took a lot of time so I put my thinking cap on to try to find a faster way.
           
           
            I came up with a color coding system using colored markers. 80 grit is Red, 120 grit is Blue, 150 grit is Green, 220 grit 
Yellow, and 320 grit is Black. I put a chart on my lathe to remind me of what color goes with what grit. 
I'm an old guy. One mark on the velcro and I'm done.
           
           
            It works for me.
