Re: How far should I go with paint prep?
From what I have seen so far my 2 cents is you can do this yourself. White should not be much of an issue. A clean dust free workspace and have at it.
40 years ago my Uncle, (Mr Corvette) restored a "63 split window in the shop bay of his gas station. When he painted it he did it on a couple Sundays by turning on some heat, dampened the floor and shot it with rattle cans. Not just any rattle cans, but custom mixed and loaded by Ditsler with the correct red for the car. Show winner!, many times over. Being friends with Arkus-Duntov and having connections in high places got the two cases of paint. Moral of the story is you can get a great paint job with out all the mystery...cleanliness and patience.
