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?? |

Just want to change the color is all I am after, but didn't know how involved to get, as it has been painted black over the original color of green.

QUOTE(partwerks @ May 14 2014, 11:46 PM)  Just want to change the color is all I am after, but didn't know how involved to get, as it has been painted black over the original color of green. id say scotty was onto something then. the best method would be to sand with 220-320 paper, lay a couple coats of sandable primer then water block with 400-600, seal and paint. i think most of us are just trying to advise you on the unknowns that are common with body/paint work. i personally prefer restoration jobs but sometimes i do quick resprays. its the painters job to give the info but in the end its the owners choice how its done. |
