The clearcoat is peeling off the trunk lid of my wife's Stratus. I"ve painted a couple of cars in the past with great results but it's been 25 years and I have no experience with the clearcoat finishes on todays cars. I plan on just using Dupont acrylic enamel with hardner as that is what I used in the old days. She took the car to a body shop and the estimate was $500. So I said I could borrow a spray gun and do it for a lot less and she said "show me!" My questions are;
Should I just sand it down to the base paint and respray? What grits of sandpaper should I use? Should I use a sealer before painting with the Dupont?
