i too tried seachin but found sweet fark all, so writin a article would be great for other people to use asa guide.
the way i went about learnin what to do was to consult a spray painter in person. you do gotta remember that each car has a different condition of existing paint so if their old paint is fucked, then they would be best to strip it all off to bare metal. but if the existing paint isnt too bad then there is no need to "rip it all off" but rather to just sand it back a little
this is basically what i did if it helps at all
1.cut out rust and weld in patches. sandblast lesser rusty areas
2.bog dents to about 80 - 90 % perfection (high build primer fills the rest)
3.strip of all the existing paint (i used a 200mm sticky disc(36 grit) on a big grinder)
4. etch prime the whole car
5. use 'high build' primer
6. paint it
of course there is the sand + prep before each stage but that is roughly what i did.
also, ed have u done anythin with the tech article i wrote on power windows in my RA40 ?? did u even recieve the email??
