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? |

In the bodyshop we alway's said: "there's alway time to do it right the second time" The problem is once you spend the coin on the shortcut the cost multiple in three's.
