[QUOTE="Makobra, post: 16547842, member: 193575"] good question, i'm not done so more is coming off for sure but that said getting every last tiny bit off is just unnecessary, the stock paint job was thin and flaked off so they piled on a thick coat of black. If I just went over that the foundation would be questionable. Getting it mostly down to bare metal does a couple things. First it reveals any body work (none so far) second it removes the possibility of the second paint job screwing the third. The idea is you want a very smooth stable surface. if i found any bondo used properly getting that out would just cost time. same goes for OEM sealer essentially acting as very thin filler. I'll go over it all with a da making sure it's all kosher before the primer which will be block sanded anyhow. The paint when I got the car was just waaaaaay too thick to be trusted so most of it has to come off. Thick paint also makes the lines of any car less sharp. [/QUOTE]
