I would always 100% of the time strip to bare metal and build the foundation. Especially in this situation. How old are the prior paint jobs? What products was used? was it laquer ? enamel? urethane? IF you cant answer any of these in confidence, then strip to bare metal and epoxy. Why would you put your hard work, time and materials on something you are uncertain of? Thinking that the last person didnt fill rust holes with mud or pile mud on small dents that can be metal worked out is insanity to me. I would never put my work on someone elses paint job or body work ..
