Question
I'm thinking of buying a car with new 2-stage black paint.  Can I repaint with yellow without too much trouble?

Answer
Hi Robert,

It can be done without too much trouble but it will be a big expense. Basically, you will need to sand the car with 320 grit and use a light colored sealer to coat everything to be painted. You can the spray your yellow directly over the sealer.
