Do you need to strip old paint before a respray

Do I need to strip away BR blue & Gray 80's livery before I repaint or respray into NIR redbull livery.

No, but thorough rub down with light wet and dry sandpaper to remove the decals helps - then wash with soapy water and let dry out fully before painting.

Again, you asked a similar question last year: http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/3572-Stripping-paint-away

 

Please avoid starting duplicate threads as it can get confusing for people searching for specific posts. I'd also recommend starting one thread and asking all questions in there if you have quite a few of them.

No worries. Like I said, if you feel you're going to be asking questions quite often, it's best to stick them all in the one thread as it'll be easer for you to keep track of the answers, etc.
