A painting question

Hi gang,


I am still discovering some problem areas left from the " previous painter"
I temp mounted my doors and noticed one was a shad off from the cab. My question is this: the door has been clear coated. I am going to reshoot the door in the current batch of paint. Should I just scuff clear coat, shoot high build primer, then shoot color and clear coat. I am not sure how to procede.


thanks for any help or suggestions.

You should not need any primer if the the door is in good shape, I would just scuff and repaint.

I would too. Just hit it with 600 or 800 and reshoot. It will most likely come out even smoother than the first time.
