I have been painting cars for myself for about 10 years, I do work in a shop that builds hot rods, but I am not painter. The info I am giving though is the same things we do (for the most part) to our show cars. In this case the Stang did not need to be striped down to bare metal, it only had one paint job (the original one) and the paint was not failing. Of course if this was a true "show" job it would be striped downto bare metal.
