I am getting ready to do some body work to fix, a few dents / scratches. Around the first of the year I am going to try for a body kit. I am going to repaint it the same color, cause for one I like teal, and two there is like no teal ones where I live. My question is should I just shoot the car, or should i sand it all down, and primer it then shoot it. I would think I could just shoot over the old paint, sence I am not changing the color.

Well if your doing any body work, with filler and fixing dents and stuff then you should prime the areas you fixed with 3 coats of primer and the rest of the car with 2 coats. If you're changing the color and not fixing any spots just 320 and wet sand it. Only prime if you've had body work done.

No primer on a recoat of a different color?

What about new parts, like hood and fascia and etc?

Also dabbill. I may be wrong, but a Mustang is hard steel, whereas we just soft metal and plastic. I have a sand/water blaster too. I know my water blaster will cut through concrete if i'm not careful - just a word of advice.
