Re: Strip to bare metal or not

The only paint job that I've ever done over old paint was on my own car, and it has had problems with what seems to be the underlaying paint absorbing solvent from the primer I used, causing the old paint to slightly swell, then slowly outgassing and shrinking after it was painted. So now there is texture coming back through the new paint. Take the extra time to strip it and do it correctly.
