I agree with Mike M- strip to bare metal 'cause -A- thick paint is more likely to crack, and -B- you never know what's under there. When I did our apparently untouched car, besides 5 layers of paint (the removed scrap weighed 4 lbs!), I found a weird greenish epoxy-bondo patch 8" in dia. on top of the left fender. This was apparently shipping damage- stevedores WALKED on our cars down in the ship's hold....
Even with Aircraft stripper, it took 4 applications plus a scraper to get the stuff off. Then a glove on my fist & a sharp smack under the fender and the dent oil-canned out- no filler needed. Why Bill Stroppe's shop didn't do that I'll never know...
