Do you use the same kind of primer to paint over an existing clearcoat (without sanding) as you would when applying a base coat after sanding? In other words, this is NOT a classic car I'm painting, its a 2001. Since the new clearcoat is smooth and for the most part untarnished and the shadow grey coat I'm applying is only 2 or 3 shades darker than the color grey the car is now, do I still need the primer to hold the base coat on?
