Paint Preparation Tools

[JonnyAlpha]

Hi;

I am looking for a D/A sander for preparing auto body panels for painting, removal of Top coat or going down to bare metal.
Will this Clarke DA Sander fit the bill?

Thanks

I wouldn't buy a Clarke anything !!!
A Mirka will last you donkeys years

Desouter are also good

Desouter are also good

There's one in the 'For Sale' section of this site.

D/A sanders are quite air hungry so I hope you have a decent CFM compressor to feed it!

That Machine Mart one will be OK for taking down to bare metal, but a bit unwieldy for flatting primer etc. Vac extraction makes a massive difference.
