You've obviously not been in many bodyshops. Changing a cars colour does not require bare metal prior to reapplication of a new colour.
Would you not sand down to the primer at least?No you're right, but I have repainted several guitars (same paint as a car) and Ill always sand down to the primer before repainting.

Can you explain whayt you mean a bit more?
Had 3 cars painted by them and the finish when the car arrived was great mirror like finish but the paint pealed off after a very short time and almost to minor touches round the edges leaving the etch primer in some places and bare alli in others. as well as stone chipping causing more damage than you'd expect and spreading further than just the chip.i've seen other cars with the same issues too.
I've never had the same problems when the cars have been painted at 2 of my local paint shops I put all the problems down to lack of prep and not enough time spent during the painting process to key the surfaces together.

My first Catetham was painted in McLaren Orange by TSK. Great finish but paint seemed soft and would easily chip. Under the sills and side panel under rear wings were really bad and this was never used in the winter.
Second Caterham painted locally finish not as good but acceptable, had very few chips and sills were fine, under rear wings had one or two chips.
