Thanks. Wet sanding is very similar to dry sanding, only a little wetter I like wet sanding because you can easily see where you have done, plus the water keeps the dust cleaned out of the grit. Plus the finest dry paper I've found is 320. You can dry sand with the wet paper. It is just waterproof, so if you want to use it with water you can.

I learned some things. I started with the side steps, and started with 220 grit paper. DON'T do that. I still have some scratches from the 220 to get out. I also started out using a power vibrating 1/4 sheet sander with the 220. DON'T do that either. It put a funky scratch pattern on that was hard to get out. Stick with hand sanding.

It will take you a FULL day to do the steps, and another FULL day for the skid plate.
