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?
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.
