A DA is a great tool and in experienced hands a great time saver. and urethane can be color sanded in 4 hours acording to PPG tech, and I have done it. and my '77 was factory shot w/acrylic urethane. so a whole repaint could be a fun, but PIA, project. if not a metalic, a panel at a time works great.. I would rather do a repaint myself.. Oliver911 has the attitude you want. because you have to want to do it. If your no sure/debating the subject, follow Moses, IMO.. a good 911 repaint IMO means pulling windows, door panels, fenders, bumpers, door handles, etc.. a metalic complicates the shoot.. proper tools and materials costs add up on the first /beginner paint job. but when you ding the car in the future, no big deal..and I would sand till I got down to good paint or primer.. then maybe do it again in 10 or 20 years.................Ron
