No need for all that. A good cleaning to get all the dirt and old wax off, tape everything off, apply a good primer then a couple coats of good enamel.

Wasn’t always so. Around 1955, we had a 2nd car, a ‘48 Plymouth, and the white paint was like a flat light gray.
Dad said if I would prepare it for painting that he would have it done and I could then have the car. ....I spent many hours wet sanding the old paint during that Summer and probably only managed about a 70% job. Tough work back then, without more recent means of prepping for paint.
Dad sold the unpainted car to a neighbor who liked re-doing cars for about $100.
Several years ago, my auto was hit on the passenger side mirror, door and rear fender with a large chunk of tire from a big rig’s blown tire. The Chevy dealer told me would cost around $700 to repair the scratches and minor dents. $700!!
I’m still driving without the repairs.
