D.A. = Dual Action. Can be a sander or buffer. The sanders usually run off a compressor although my DA Buffer is electric. In his case looks like a sander.

Bob Reread your thread and you indicated that the jobber could not mix the light ivory in a single stage. Not a painter so I am probably asking a stupid question. Is it that "light ivory" cannot be made in single stage or the jobber (supplier?) could not create the color in single stage Dextron. I remember a thread where there was some controversy about getting light ivory correct and ultimate conclusion there was to use Lesonal paint I think. Just wondering about your reasoning as to choice. When Soterik recently sold his red Targa I think it was done in single stage red Dextron. Any indication from your jobber why light ivory such a problem. thanks for answer to uneducated question.
regulations for the area limited the jobber
plus, i was very specific about getting the 6804 light ivory correct color formula.
so, ultimately it was the PPG librarian that had the correct formula, and it could only be made in the base coat clear coat. Waterborne base,Deltron clear coat
