Are you going for an all out restoration, just a good looking quality color change, quicky refinish? If you want a guaranteed good end result you would be better off having someone with the knowledge show you and help you out. Its wise to not start until your ready with all the equipment, material and a plan of attack. The paint doen't "look" that bad at all, if its not fucked up it doesn't need to be stripped unless your doing some super resto.
