Everything I’ve read says the only way to PROPERLY do a repaint over the factory lacquer finish is to take it to bare metal. While I don’t dispute this, I did come across a car that had a “glass out” quality repaint but it was taken down to metal only where the original paint was badly checked. Non-checked areas were taken down to primer only. Is this practice acceptable? Or should this be considered a poor repaint? FWIW the paint job is now 5-6 years old and still looks fantastic in the photos I have seen.
