What is the best way to have my car painted, there will be a color change? Do I take it ALL APART (motor, tranny, interior, etc.) or just around the area's that will be sprayed? Does the engine bay ordinarily get the same color as the car?

I once had a professional painter at a nice paint shop tell me that they could never get the paint as hard as an OEM finish. They can't bake it at the high enough temperatures because it would melt all the plastic on the cars. In my experience, front ends chip easier when repainted. That's why you wear a bra!
As far as paint over paint is concerned, I think you have to use your judgement. I won't strip OEM paint off because it is very good and strong. The only reason I will go into the metal is if there is rust or some body work is needed. Otherwise, I think sealing the base is fine, once it has been sanded down. |
