Well said Enrique,
as a matter of fact in my experience, it works in reverse.
I asked my paint man what specs. HE wants the car prepared to.
Back to bare metal using chemical stripper, grind out all the filler
with a 3m Clean'n'Strip wheel, polish all the body with the same
wheel, spray the bare metal with CRC-556 to prevent rust forming and
he took it from there.
I always ask questions (it is called "picking brains") but it is his
daily business so he should know it by now!

Subject: Re: Body Shop Paint Specifications (2nd attempt)
Regarding advising the body shop as to HOW to paint the car....I
heartily DON'T recommend it. As to how MUCH paint to use, unless it
is
an issue of price, I wouldn't go there either.......
There's an old expression that says "Don't teach your Grandmother how
to
suck eggs.". No one likes being told how to do a job by people who
DON'T know how to do the job.
Sorry to be a wet rag, just my 2".
