Re: paint question

Tightly adhered paint does not need to be removed before painting.
If you have a clean and abraided surface, paint will stick.
But if you have rust bubbles or other area of delamination, then you need to get to bare, clean metal.

Yes, the black primer may make the new orange paint a different hue if your paint is not a good quality and covers well. Chances are, the truck was painted from factory with a black primer so may not have to worry about it.

That's the short answer. More money would allow sand blasting and full frame off job, but I understand that you want to just freshen it up, without spending a lot of money.

Post some pictures... we all like pictures to look at.
