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?? |

I would only repaint over the original finish. Factory paint on a 914 is hard as nails. Here's the deal. You spend time=money sanding, repairing dents and dings, masking only to have a reaction two coats into the paint job. The most costly losses in the body shop business are in the paint booth. Why set yourself up for failure. On cars with multi layers I use a heat gun and scraper. A wood chisel works really good. I use an 8" sander and paint stripper in combination.
I'm just finishing a 911 that had 10 paint jobs on it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif)  |
