I just painted my e30 the oldest school way imaginable.
1. washed, cleaned, degreased.
2. 220 the existing paint.
3. No primer unless you need filler. In my experience new paint sticks to old paint better than primer.
4. Shot the paint (laquer w/ 1:8 thinner ratio)
5. Wet sand 600
6. Shoot another coat
7. Wet sand 600
8. Shoot another coat
8. Wet sand 1000
9. High speed buff.
Keep in mind I'm painting a track car. I would never use laquer on a show/street car. But, I was shocked how well it came out considering I did little prep work.
