    That looks great man! Believe it or not, I have never sanded anything. Cosmetic work has always spooked me. I'm afraid I will mess it up and it will look worse than it did before.

    I'm nowhere near a body man. But, if I research something enough, I can get it down in my head and I'm pretty confident that I can do it.

    Here's some before and after pics of my previous car. '98 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I had never wet sanded anything like this before.

    I didn't paint it. That's the same paint that's in the before pic.

    That's wet sanded, buffed, glazed, and waxed.
