I am working on my 3rd gen getting it reay for paint... well i took most of the car down to bare metal. Both fenders, hood and the doors are not touched yet but they are off the car. Should i take them to bare metal or can i just wet sand them and shoot primer and it look ok?

it kinda depends on what kind of shape the paint is, if the clear is peeling badly or has a lot of chips then yea you might as well take it down to bare metal but if the paint is in decent shape you should be able to wetsand then primer

but u don't have to take all the way down to bare metal that's just more work for u an money if clear coat is pealing off just sand it with 500 make it smooth then prime it sand it with 500 and 800 an u be good to paint it and if paint its good just sand with 800 seal it an paint it
