Do I need to sand this whole thing down!

You do not have to sand all the good solid paint to bare metal.

Andre68 can you stay with the one thread instead of 3.
I will help you as much as I know.

In the other thread I said wet sand the tight areas by hand, it really does not
take that long. By the time you go buy a sand blaster and hook it up plus you need
a high out put compressor,You be amazed at how much can be done.

Think of the mess of blasting ,you will have a cat problem because after that they
will think it as a giant litter box. And how are your neighbors?

These are my opinions and I learned on my own without the internet in my 20,s
I am 49 now and self taught. I buggered up alot along the way.

The bare metal has to be coat with epoxy primer like dodgecity said.
