Put it on, sand it off, put it on, sand it off. You guys have really been attacking the bed!

Yes sir, you got the sequence of events down for sure. I probably should have bought new bed sides.

New bedsides require work too. They can have fitment issues and/or shipping damage like mine. You know the factory sheetmetal fits!

Oh for sure, bought a new bed for the last one of these we did. It's all work. I'm pretty sure I would have been money ahead on this one though.

We went ahead and sanded the bed again in 220 dry. Came out MUCH better this go around. We also added the 7th and 8th coat of epoxy. Should block one more time in 320 wet and be ready for paint.
