    Yeah the new glossifier is even better than it used to be especially if you can lay it on nice and wet.

    I've thought about doing something like that to my truck, maybe when the warm weather returns.

    If the rest of the truck is in as good of shape as it appears by that last photo, i would ignore those suggesting teh hillbilly do it yourself approach and east the professional prep and repaint of the roof. The fact that they don't have to blend it in with other body panels would be a factor in helping to limit some cost.

    Had my roof and hood painted. The body shop was god awful, so I still have to have imperfections fixed.

    I used a drill with a circular sander peice on the end. Grit depends on how much paint and metal irregularities you'll have to smooth out, I think.
