Any Autobody Painter Pros Out There?
I am going to attempt to spray a motorcycle fender. It has an existing what I believe to be a Urathane with clearcoat. My question is can I just give it a light sanding and cleaning for prep and then paint & clear? I would rather not have to take it down to the bare metal.

Thanks.

Yes, but I would also wipe it down with Reducer or Thinner to remove any wax and body oils.
