Expert bodywork question, Cleaning up someone's else mess Options

Well, my celi is purple... honestly, i don't like that color. however, it used to be yellow and when the previous owner painted it, he had a cheap job done to it. They only painted over the yellow, so is there a possibilty to return it to yellow by sanding the purple coat very carefuly back to the yellow then adding a clear coat finish?


EDIT: The purple comes off quite easily, my front end is full of yellow dots from rock chips, same for the rockers.

i'm wondering now, all the yellow i see is from rock chips or minor scraps. Is there some kind of sandblasting or beadblasting that would knock off all the weak purple paint. If i can just get to the yellow's clear coat and not touch the yellow, i could just get the clear redone. I'm no expert when it comes to bodywork but i think it might be feasible. I'll take both your suggestions snapshot. Hopefuly the bodyshop won't just say "no, it's not possible" and try to just sell me a full paint job.

Man i hope this is possible, having a yellow celi would be so cool !!!!
