    I agree.

    I would assume the car will have already been wet sanded and compounded before you get it. You will likely just have to check it over for any remaining sanding marks, tracers, or pig tails and deal with them first. Then it's just a matter of removing the deep holograms from the compounding. Just be sure that all your products are body shop safe.

    I also agree with this.

    Since you are only painting half the car, you want the new paint to match the texture of the factory paint. Most shops will only wet sand out the dust specs unless it a full repaint and the customer is willing to pay for a smooth finish.
