I am preping to repaint the Townie. As I sand, I notice that there are three layers of product on the truck. The first layer is the 1980's era brown paint. Under that is a sickly looking green and under that is a dull beige. My question is, HOW much paint do I sand off before I can have the truck sprayed? I am hoping that I don't need to do down to bare metal, because with my electric DA sander, It will take about a year to sand it all down to bare metal. After I sand an area, I am coating it with a self etching primer to keep the corrosion off.
I am a newbie to paint and bodywork, so any advice is appreciated.
