Painting question

[GNandTTA]

Non TR related. I bought some parts from the local boneyard to repair the front of my truck. Can I paint over the existing paint. New parts are white and I need to paint them blue. Any prep work that needs to be done? I only need to paint the inside of the fenders and radiator support. I will have the exterior painted by a shop. Thanks!!

If the present paint is not cracked or checked, you can paint right over it. You must scuff it before you do.

Yep, red scotchbrite is the best for a cut in on a used piece.

yes you can paint over the existing refinish if it not cracking,crazing or chipping. i recomend that you decrease and sand it properly then seal the existing material for so the new paint will adhere properly
