This will be my step by step driveway strip and paint thread. This may not be the way everyone will do it, but this is the way I will do mine. If you like it, you can do it this way also. If not, then you can take it to a body shop and pay $3k to $5k for a paint job. You could also do different variations and run the cost up. I will post what I spend on this entire process. Some have said its like hitting your self in the head with a hammer, ok, this will be my first smack in the head.

Second coat of stripper, same as the first. However, where ever there is bondo, you will need to remove it all the way. Do not try to just smooth it out and paint over it. The bondo will absorb the stripper and ruin your nice new paint job down the road. Besides, we are going to remove the dents before the primer goes on. You want the least amount of bondo on the car as possible. 1/8" max. With the paint off, you will easily see any and all bondo on the car. Be sure to get all of it off. Places I thought had bondo didnt have any, places I didnt know there was any, there was a lot. Some of it was way thicker than it should have been.
