Body and Paint Questions

i m with rj. i would just strip it to bare metal. all that other paint still on there is just gonna cause you more problems. you re already half way there. a lot of times.. that new paint might react with that old stuff and eventually probably shrink and you ll see scratches, waves, buttholes, etc. if you start from bare metal and work your way out with new stuff. i think you will end up with a better paint job that will look good a lot longer. i recommend going bare metal, epoxy, then fix dents, etc. then featherfill, or another high build primer. sealer, then paint. single stage or base clear. i just think that if you don t get all that old crap off...you might be in the same boat in a few years. just my opinion. my power wagon was taken apart and painted professionally and it is smooth as a baby's butt, BUT i can tell they didn t strip the original paint off, cause it has buttholes, and sand scratches coming back through. good luck. glad you decided to fix it. looks like a cool car.
