The giant gorilla snot on top of the door is Durabond, the worlds worst invention, I will see what is under there and either weld in a new piece or work with what's left

A drop of dish soap in a spray bottle with water help by not making such a mess as a bucket full of water. The small amount of soap helps lift the old paint away from your work area. A 3m squeegee is great for keeping the area your working on free from debris and helps you see where you need more sanding. Normally I would use an engineering fluid called Dykem between grits but I can see well on this color without it

I use 3m wet or dry paper up to 800 grit, then switch to Eagle brand. It's half the price, about $40 a sleeve, and the paper on the finer grits, 1000 and up, is much more pliable

Very good product and worth the money. These run about $30 retail. Body supply houses are cheaper

I've had this Makita variable speed buffer for over 20 years and never an issue. One of the best power tools I've ever owned. They run about $300. Harbor freight sells a buffer for $29. I've used these doing boats and although they are inexpensive, they get the job done. Spend the extra 9 bucks for the warranty and you won't have to worry about burning it up or dropping it.

It got dark so I hand sanded a couple spots with 1500 wet and buffed them. This old paint looks brand new. Hope to finish the cab tomorrow

This old paint is looking amazing so far. Will post progress as I go through it tomorrow. Think about a paint restoration rather than a repaint if you can. It will save you tons of money if you want to put in the sweat equity

Buffed a section with 3m #1 compound, then #2 & #3. Each quart runs around $30. Foam pads for the buffer=$20 each
