Reply to "Repaint questions?"

Panterawannabe has a decent procedure there and I have painted over a lot in my days. I would swap the 120 for 180. You just have to find the stopping point when removing the old. If you find your getting some areas to bare metal and 2,3layers of old paint in others you may as well bite the bullet and strip it all. I use evercoat brand aircraft stripper from napa. The customers car in my shop now only took one layer of stripper! That is rare, usually it takes 2-3 applications. Wear gloves and use a razor blade scraper, change blades if it starts to scratch the metal. You can roll the edge of the razor a little on glass to help it not dig in. I hold a box in one hand and scrape into it. Once you get 90% off you can wipe it down with a wet rag. This makes the residue get hard so you can sand it off without gumming up the sandpaper. If I can advise in any way, please don't hesitate to ask. I live for painting cars!
