Because misery loves company, here are some "play by play" shots - It took ten cuts (meaning ten passes with megs 105) to go from beginning to end. My goal is to do one panel per day (the passenger door probably took 3 hours to tape, wet sand and buff out).

Looks great. 10 passes with a DA is painfully slow. Better safe than sorry. I've had pretty good results using megs100 as a faster cut and polish.
