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?? |

im in the process of doing a "simple repaint" on a customers 75 VW beetle that for all purposes doesnt really need a complete paint job if you look at just the surface. its been stored indoors in a heated building for the past 15 years under a cover and hasnt been out in 10 years. what the surface doesnt show is the bondo that was packed into the rust holes and painted over. i hate surprises a year after i finish a car, its easy to say strip it or dip it but in the end you cant see whats there till you dig in.
you dont really save anything by doing the job twice. my advice would be to look it over really well see exactly what you have to work with. if youre not ready to do it correctly leave it alone, just drive it till you are |
