[Mgs] question about paint prep

[Councill, David]

That depends on a lot of factors. It is not important in the sense that most
of it will be covered up. But if you are changing paint colors and assuming
you have the engine out to paint the engine compartment, I think it is worth
the extra effort to do it right and make a complete color change. The interior
is just going to be sprayed anyway, not the shiny polish on the body. I don't
know much about blasters - I removed the carpet glue manually with scrapers
and sanders. But I also had most of the prep and paint done by a body shop
after I stripped all the parts out of the body (72 B). The paint is not the
greatest or shiniest in the interior but the car is now Black Tulip with
virtually no trace of the original orange.

So, I suppose part of the question remains unanswered: how much work should I
go to repaint the interior given that it is covered by carpet and panels and
are pressurized blasters better than suction blasters or is a quick rough up
with a blaster and then primer a better suited route?
