RE: paint prep

["Earl H. " <earlh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My recommendation is not to blast period. What happens is, no 
matter what media you use, some of it will remain in the microscopic 
pits of the metal. This will cause issues later after painting.
If you want a paint job to last as long as the original, don't blast.

If the original paint is good, and you do not discover any unexpected 
past repairs while prepping for the new paint, just sand the original paint 
and paint over it. You can do a test on the existing paint to make sure 
the new paint, primer, and cutting agent is not going to react with 
the original paint. If it does not, then leaving the original paint on is 
the way to go. I am assuming it has not been repainted. If this is 
the second paint job on the car, I would recommend a chemical strip. 
This is not that hard to do, but yields far better results. This can be 
done by hand. I would recommend removing all the glass when doing 
the new paint job.

Don't sand blast! Stretches the metal they say. I don't know about the
prices, but ...................
