[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 332697, member: 7544"] I'm no painter but I did sleep in a Holliday Inn Express. :lol: Kidding aside, I've got several friends that do automotive painting and that's where I've picked up what little I know. To remove the old decals, I'd use a 3M Eraser wheel. Any place your paint is chipped will need to be sanded to feather the edges of the chips. The entire surface should be sanded enough to remove any oxidized paint and to rough up the surface to allow the new paint to stick. I would use a self etching primer anywhere that the fiberglass or metal is exposed. Here's an old Merc I recently repainted although I didn't replace the decals on this one.
