yeah...look at my sunfire for a prime example why NOT to go to hall autobody...still didnt get the wrong color overspray off my bumper and windshield...and if they get the replacement parts from another car, they dont like to strip the clearcoat or anything...just wash it off, and paint...

BTW... you don't want to "strip" the paint off a replacement car. Paint is the perfect primer. They'll sand it for traction and paint. Now if it's some super different color they'll need to prime it for coverage.

how about no. Unless the body shop is too cheap to use sealer before they apply their basecoat.

in that case, they will feather edge the scratch to bare metal, prime it...and then block it out, but not the whole panel, Just the scratched area
