No disrespect to anyone who is trying to give advice on something you obviously havent a clue as to what your talking about. BUT........

The 1st thing you need to do is go to that book store and buy a Paint & body guide, for around $25.00.

All you need to do to the paint to prepare it for refinishing is to use a grey 3-M scotch brite pad.Or no coarser then a 400 grit wet/dry sand paper.
Once you have cleaned all areas to be painted, using Dawn dish detergent. Scuff or sand any areas to be painted until it is completly dull , Looking like a white dull . You have no need for primer unless you are priming over body filler, or a bare metal area, bigger then a dime or so.

I could go on and on. But i strongly recomend you reconsider. Paint and body work is an aquired skill that takes years and years to master. But if you feel you have the ability to deliver the quality you are content with. And hopefully when you finish and people ask who painted your car. You say uhhhhhhhhh Maaco, yeah they f**ked it up.
Or I DID IT!!!!!!!!! And they pat you on the back and say man that is nice good job.Good work, will you paint mine?

Good luck and GO BUY A BOOK....... Youll be glad you did..
P.S better go buy a buffer too.Your gonna need it.
