well the hood is the only place where there is cracked paint, and it is also the only panel i know for sure is laquer paint. i've dug a lot more into the car this week, and there is hardly any body work done to the car, and the spots i've found I stripped the filler and re-did it. part of the reason I am being somewhat "brave" is because the car is being re-sold at an auction right away. dont get me wrong, i'm not doing a half-assed paint job or body work. I havent found any of the old paint that is having adhesion problems or anything, just some edges which have been taken care of already. My biggset concern was spraying over the top of what is on the car already. I've done several full paint jobs already, some with a lot of body work and modifications under them, and some just collision work. I used to work in a very reputible collision/custom shop. That does not mean at all that im a "pro"..haha, i just wanted some opinions from you guys that have been around a lot longer, and "been there, done that" Well enough of my story, thanks for the help so far, and im still open to any suggestions!!
