I am not sure what your budget is, however my first choice would be to remove all of the trim from the car and have it plastic media blasted. This would probably tack on $600 or $700 to the project price. Otherwise, I would DA the whole car with 80 to get the old non-factory paint off then follow up with 320 making sure to throughly scuff the factory paint. Painstaking detail in sanding is what will give you a durable and professional looking product. Follow the sanding up with an epoxy primer. I would use PPG OMNI MP170, It is Identical to PPG DPLF. Now is the time to fill any dings. Depending on how much bodywork needed to be done I would either wetsand and paint or follow with a high build primer such as PPG k36 or NCP270. Then wetsand thoroughly, check for imperfections and apply base and clear. If you need any direction along the way, feel free to email me or ask your autobody supplier. Good Luck.
