14. Dual-Action Sander
One of the staples of bodyworking, the DA is your greatest tool when it comes to scuffing the whole truck. it also does a great job of feathering out scratches and old layers of paint. By design, the sander won't create more ridges because it sands on two planes, hence the name "dual action."

15. Hammers And Dollies
Here are two basic hammers and dollies you'll need to manipulate metal. The faces of both hammers are flat. On the other side, however, one contains a pick designed to provide excellent balance for close-in work, and the other contains a chisel for work on hard-line areas like body lines or the front edge of a hood. The dollies are used to back up the hammer and come in different shapes as well.

16. Scotch Brite Pad
These hand pads are used to scuff surfaces and provide the proper texture for your primer or paint to bite. They are a lot more flexible than sandpaper, so you can get them into tighter spaces. not only good for bodywork, these make excellent scrubbers when cleaning greasy parts.

17. Pinstripe Paint
The newest paint on the pinstripe scene is Striper from Alsa. This is a urethane-based striping paint, which means it dries in minutes and is completely able to be clearcoated without any worries of reaction. Designed with the pinstriping community in mind, Striper has been refined in the Alsa labs after rigorous testing in the market by actual pinstripers.
