Im not paint master, in fact im more of a mechanical guy, however Im positive you can primer over existing paint but there is still prep work. I'd sand it down to a more chaulky texture so the primer sticks. Just my 2 cents


Yes this is my truck, No I wont help you move

Basicly you can primer over any old finish, especially if your just covering up some bare metal. Most of todays urethane products recommend that old finishes be striped. Main thing is read the directions that come with every product or talk to the guy thats selling you the materials. With the price of materials now days its best to follow directions, because a bad paint job can comeback to haunt you.
