Auto body repair & detailing: laquer paint, dual action sander, tinted laquer


Question
am not a pro. What is sanding with D and A?.I have fiberglass motorhome and want to repaint part of it with tinted laquer. How do I prep it?

Answer
Hi Bob,

DA stands for Dual Action. Which means you need to sand the surface with a dual action sander. A dual action sander spins and oscillates at the same time to avoid digging gouges.

You will need to use a DA Sander and sand the area to be painted with 400 grit.
