I have painted the exterior of my crx rio red, but I'm getting a new shell and im looking to repaint the entire car, inside and out, a nice gloss black.

my questions are, on the interior, do i need to remove the seam sealer to repaint the firewall and the other panels with seam sealer on them? and if so what do i use to keep moisture out?

and also, is it a good idea to use some aircraft paint stripper on the entire interior, then sand with 40, 80,120 before laying a coat of epoxy primer? then a high build, and then a sealer? or should i just sand it down with 120 and spray epoxy primer on sanded paint?

I just want to kno the best steps to take to make the interior look nice and glossy, since there are so many weird shapes and lines.
thanks

u dont need to knock down the seam sleaer, or use stripper, knock everything down w/ 120 then use a RED 3m pad ont he rest of the inside then hit it up with a nice expoxy, you dont need to runa high build inside the car b/c you really arnt gonna notice low spots

 

alright cool, thanks for the info
