So I am thinking next year maybe a respray. I'm sick of my dad giving me sh** for the small dents and dings.
My car has been resprayed at least twice, both times the factory color. When I'm prepping for the respray, should I sand down the previous layers to bare metal or the original layer? My thought is to leave the layers...they add a little weight but protect from rust. Thoughts? |

It's going to cost more, but with two re-sprays, I'd say strip it to bare metal and do it right. Once you get a certain level of paint film, adding more is only going to give problems.
