Really. What problems will I have? Its been about 6 weeks since sprayed the cab. How long is too long? If you dont mind me asking, whats your recomendation on the steps and materials for cut and buffing. I've heard and read alot of different methods and am a little bit lost. Im going tomorrow to but supplies. I was just going to pick the brain of the guy who owns the store as he has been very helpful so far. But I would like your input. All I have as of right now is a new buffer. I painted an old 80's Dodge hood when I was painting so I would have something to practice on. This step makes me more nervous than when I started painting.

The paint combo looks fantastic. The buff jobs that always turn out horrible are the ones that are afraid of them. I was terrified with my first one from all the horror stories and once I got into it I immediately became comfortable. Just practice a little if possible, watch your edges and let the buffer do the work for you. Take your time.

Thanks. It was nice meeting you

UPDATE: I'm into the cut and buff now and it is going slowly. I'm really starting to get the hang of it so hopefully I can pick up the pace a little. Havent got to spend much time on it lately. I've been spending some time with the family. I REALLY want to finish polishing so I can put the body together and see what it looks like as one piece again. After this week I should have more time to work on it, so it wont be long...

jmking9 · 04-18-2013, 09:35 PM

After two long weeks of late night sanding and buffing, I have finally finished. I cant believe how much difference it makes, well worth the effort. Anyone doing their first paint job and on the fence about wether or not to polish, like I was, DO IT. I used a method that I stole from a board member. 1000/1500/2000 then 3M foam pads with Meguires compounds. It worked very well.

Should have most of the body put together by the end of the weekend. I'll post some pics then. I cant wait to start putting on the trim and other things so I can get an idea of what this thing is really going to look like.

jmking9 · 04-18-2013, 10:48 PM

Tried to get a picture showing what it looks like after the cut and buff. Not sure how well these cell phone pics will turn out, but It looks pretty decent in person. I'll have to get pics with the real camera this weekend.

~Whitey~ · 04-19-2013, 12:31 PM

ooooo nice.. I like.

Zoomin · 04-21-2013, 09:32 PM

Wow Jonathon that looks really REALLY good. That trim looks strangely familiar... :-)

What happened to your other wheels?

67_ShortFleet · 04-22-2013, 12:14 PM

Nice Job!

knomadd · 04-22-2013, 02:21 PM

Nice, your truck is looking good!

jmking9 · 04-22-2013, 05:20 PM

Thanks to everyone for the compliments!!

Jimmy, I still have the wheels. I'll probably put them on before long. I plan on kinda going back and forth between them and the rallies. I like both looks.

Thanks! You're absolutely right. Looks so close and yet so much still to do. My biggest hurdle is going to be the wiring harness.

Got the rear bumper on, along with the drivers side trim. Putting the trim on was a pain due to the fact that I should have put a few of the pieces on before putting on the front clip. That was a lesson learned the hard way. I also got the strikers and door latches in. The doors are aligned and seem to shut very well. I am waiting on all my rubber for the doors and windows to come from GMC Pauls. Once I get the doors are all together, I'll start with the AAW wiring harness.
