Yeah, I'm using a palm sander.... :-\
You are probably right, I think hand sanding is probably the better way to go at this point. I've come this far, I don't want to rush things now. I've just never had a material melt together like before? I'll report on round 3 of sanding.....HAND SANDING.....tonight

Alright, got the last coat of Bin on last night. Tonight, I got it sanded down as smooth as a babies behind! I ended up using 220 grit with a sanding block, it didn't seem to clump as bad, but bad enough I wet sanded it. After the 220, I went 400 grit, then some 000 steel wool for the final sand. It turned out pretty good I think. Here is it the cab after the final sand....

After a quick wipe down and some taping, it was ready for DONKEY KONG BLUE!! I ended up using the recipe someone posted on here, for the Sherwin Williams Semi Gloss Latex. I must say it went on VERY NICE!! You could definatley tell it was a high quality paint. I figured it would be worth the couple extra bucks to have a good quality paint on it. Anyway these two pics were taken about two hours ago! She is sitting in my garage drying as I type! Man it was nice to see that thing look that good again!! ;D I think I'm going to go back out to the garage and sit and stare at it for a while!!

QUICK QUESTION FOR SOMEONE!!
While I was "staring at it" I noticed something.....
What color is supposed to be on the INSIDE of the speaker holes? Looks like they were black?? Is that right? Or are they supposed to be blue? Anyone know????
