I have a 93 Dodge Spirit with170,000 that still runs well. The paint has had a history of peeling off to the primer, since i bought it in 95. The dealer made good on repainting the hood back then, but since then, i've had to spot it with touchup paint and the like. Now i have a big area that's peeled to the grey primer on the roof. Obviously I don't want to sink a lot of money into a paintjob on a car that will only be used for another year or two. My choice is to bring it to earl, maaco , do it myself somehow cheaply (if possible with a top of the line Wagner powerpainter), or do a combination of sanding myself (as some suggest) and taking it to Earl or Maaco. Is it possible to shoot any type of auto enamel with a top of the line electric sprayer. (It sprays thick paint like latex with no problem, as I've painted garage doors with it.) Email replies to snipped-for-privacy@hotmail.com and thanks.
