My car is on it's second color already, and I would like to change it from the previous owner.

I'm wondering how the body shop goes about painting over existing colors to get it to stick??

Maybe it's not as bad as I think on removal of some things, but the dash and what's under it is down right scary, but ultimately would be the best to remove everything down to the bare bones. I would have to see if my mechanic would be interested in stripping it down for a potential blast job to get things in order, just in case I do the LS/Boxster trans conversion.
