big sticka to look like carbon fibre.

What ever you do, do not paint over any old paint. You will regret it a year down the line when all the old paint decides it's time to start coming off again.

So should I sand it down to primer before rattle canning it flat Black?

>>16085877
Might as well kill the primer too. These cars are not known for their quality paint.

>>16085877
yes, but don't rattlecan it if you want a decent finish, otherwise just leave it to peel.

>>16085896
>>16085877
Nah, you can get a decent finish with rattle can. Matte looks fine though and is very low effort unlike primer -> wet sand -> base coat + wet sand -> clearcoat -> wet sand

Just don't rattle can the whole damn car matte black. Matte does not look good on the whole vehicle.

And I should clarify: you don' have to remove all of the primer, just enough to make sure that you have completely removed the base coat and have a fresh surface to paint to.

>The hood on my mid 2000's crown vic is peeling. Is sanding it down to primer and then painting it flat black a decent option?

Prep work is necessary for a good job. Surely you've heard plenty of people in the past make comments about cars they've seen on the road that look it was painted by Maaco. It's not that Maaco paints badly. Painting is actually fast and somewhat routine. It's the prep work that is lacking and where 95% of the labor is (removing trim/moulding/badges, sanding, masking, and then replacing after painting). That's typically because Maaco does only a minimal amount of prep for their usual paint jobs. You'll need to remove trip and moulding if you want to paint so that the edges of where the re-paint stops are not visible when people look at your car from several feet away. If you repaint into the door jambs, that is extra work too. But you'll need to do that if you want to avoid the "oh that car looks like it was painted at Maaco".

There are also choices of paint available other than the typical paints used for cars. Previous archived threads are informative and have links to other forums with more details and pictures. For certain colors such as red or black, valspar tractor paint with added paint hardener looks good on cars. Metallic additive can be added to the paint as mentioned by at least one poster who mentioned the brand. Search for tractor paint in the 4plebs site.

There are other archived repaint threads of which the above is a sample.

You may wish to specifically read this post if you intend to paint at home and want to prevent dust from settling on your paint and clear coat.

Get a miata or s2k

Paint jobs look "cheap" if they don't have a clear coat.

>Is sanding it down to primer and then painting it
I've seen paint jobs that looked "thick" on a car. I bet that thick look was the result of someone not sanding down the old paint but simply painting on top of it. Other people might also be able to notice that look too.

new hood obviously

>new hood obviously
That's the type of answer you expect from a formal body shop nowadays. You get a scratch and it will be sand and repaint the whole panel instead of touch up the scratch. Get a scratch on the hood? You need a new hood (sand, reprime, repaint) for a $1850 job plus tax.

The other problem is that old paint may have silicone oils soaked into it from previous wax jobs.
