I have a 1983 Lebaron Mark Cross Convertible. It has the factory paint still on it but needs to be repainted. Does anyone know what kind of paint the original is: lacquer, acrylic enamel, acrylic lacquer??? Also I don't want to have to prime the whole car if I don't have to. Can I just repair the scratches and prime them with a sanding primer-then rough up the old finish with sandpaper? I will need to paint the bumpers also, are they plastic, poly.. ..do I need to use a different paint on these? What kind of paint do I need to use? I will be spraying the car. I have painted a couple of cars in the past but is has been 30 years or so, so the paints have changed. I don't want to spray something on that's going to eat the paint that's already on there. Any info would be appreciated.
