Jack,
I think it was $3.97 a can. Works for me.
Like you said, it just gets covered up so I wasn't worried about an exact color match...

Today I wet sanded the roof, or most of it that is...
I'm cheating and only doing the area above the front seats, and then down the sides and around the back.
Sanding and buffing in between the ribs in the roof is too much work so I'm just taking care of the perimeter.
I'll hit it with the buffer tomorrow and we'll see how it looks...

Buffed out the roof today... Looks good!
I'll get started on the rest of the body thursday.
Phone died so no pictures...

Blake,
I agree with you, the roof is a pain in the *ss to do...especially between the ribs.
I'll bet it came out nice though. I know you spent a lot of time on the roof getting it straight and smooth.

Wet sanded the tailgate and passenger side today.
I'll hit it with the buffer tomorrow...

Yesterday I buffed out the tailgate and passenger side. Looks good!
Today I wet sanded the drivers side doors and 1/4 panel.
Tomorrow I'll hit it with the buffer and then the body is ready to rock!
I'll hold off on sanding/buffing the front clip for a little while longer...

Thanks you guys!
I got the drivers side buffed out this afternoon. Looks good!
I'm really happy with how everything looks!
This coming week I'll start throwing parts on it!
