Just took a while and read this whole thread. I am just about finishing up metal work on my cab, and getting ready to start sanding and priming. I was going to have it painted professionally, but now i really think i might try it myself. Awesome thread! I cant believe how amazing those look after cutting and buffing. That little cross-section diagram was really interesting for me to see what your actually doing by wet sanding. And Ryan, the step by step list is great too for a guy like me who has never done this stuff before.

One question: when sanding panels to bare metal, an etching (epoxy) primer should be used first, correct? But also, is there a real need to sand to bare metal on an original paint cab?
