Cannn... u may try it & ull see, this method is realy works. .
Primier is an agent between metal & paint, as paint will not stick on metal but primier will. it work like this, paint will stick to primier & primier to base (metal). even powder coated, new paint can stick to it nicely. Usually stock paint will bond to metal better than spraying a primier to it .

so far... the most problem in painting tt i can see here is the primier did not stick to the paint. mayb, due to oil, dust etc on the surface of the metal be4 painting or mayb bcoz of the primier itself

.. hard to explained . The primier is already on the base. Since u already sand off the stock paint on the surface, u may proceed with ur own color of paint (spraying paint on paint as u mention above is like spraying a layer of paint )

yup! it can . not sure abt autosol. i use T-cut Color restorer by carplan.. im quite happy with the result

here is the result :



its metallic black & red sticker. The rest is just the reflection.

juz bare hands. i use 2000 grid sand paper on a sponge, water & bathing soap. never ever apply presure while sanding. (please keep in mind, ure sanding just the surface). sanding just to make the surface flat. after sanding, wash it well & u'll have a very dull result. nothing to worried about polish will fix it .

errr what is swirl remover??

No presure at all (tt why i use sponge to avoid any accidentally pressure + i do the sanding job in a bathroom while bathing with shower is on ), if u affraid to sand, use a higher number of grid. then, polish till it rise & shine ;P
