it really depends on the condition of ur old paint wether it can be just sprayed on mine has gone away to have metal flakes added and as it was only sprayed the base coat last week there is no need for a respray

If the lacquer on your old coat has gone/faded then I think its time for a respray of the base coat, or at least a blowover.

You need 2 application of lacquer too, other wise the finished surface will feel course/gritty because of the flakes.

No no, you would put say 2 coats of clear mixed with flakes onto the car or as many as you wanted until you were happy... then bake it, take it out the booth, flatten it down then put a second application of clear coat without flakes onto the car, bake that then flatten and polish until your as happy as a pig in shit
