The cab I have was dry and clean-ish, but it definitely had been worked hard. The back had a lot of dents. Dave and I got a lot of them out with the stud gun, then it was time for a skim coat. He has a cool sanding technique that gets the panels pretty flat. He uses these very long sanding blocks and a powder guide coat.
These pics are of a door, but the same technique applies. Those long blocks really show the imperfections, and eventually smooth them out.
