The original paint is allso an acrylic enamel paint and it is being repainted the same color.Thanks Chuck (This post was edited by carjunky on Jul 19, 2006, 12:41 PM) carjunky Enthusiast Jul 19, 2006, 12:39 PM Post #2 of 3 (2574 views) Re: Auto Painting Sign In Chuck, Are you repainting the whole car or doing a touch up job? If you are repainting the whole car such as a rebuild project, I would sand it down and take off most of the old paint... Because you would hate to see the new coat of paint peeling because the older paint decided to start falling off. If this is for a touch up, then I would sand the sections around where you would be painting and prime it followed by a good coat of paint. You could also check at a book store such as barnes and noble, I've seen quiet a few good painting books for under $20, which could cover this a bit more.
