[QUOTE="thill, post: 518175, member: 4972"] I agree with Freeisforme, except that I always test an area with the paint I am using. I put some heavily on the EDGE of the painted areas and let it soak for a few minutes, and then check it. If the old paint sticks hard and isn't affected - PERFECT. That is probably the factory paint and it is the best primer you could ever want. Feather the edges smooth with some 400-600 grit and GO. If the paint starts bubbling or loosening, then it's not the original paint, and it probably has to go, unfortunately. You might try an epoxy primer over it, and it might still be fine to leave, but I generally use stripper and scrape it off with a plastic scraper and start fresh. [/QUOTE]
