Hi Charlie,
The answer is "no". We will not be sanding on the van. It will be here at 4:00pm because we're going to wash it with a foam gun.
After that I'll TEST it to see if it's single stage or basecoat/clearcoat. It looks like single stage. If it is then we certainly don't want to sand a single stage metallic paint job as it will mess it up.
If it's basecoat/clearcoat then we still won't sand it as this is a WORK truck not a show car and here in South Florida you need all the paint you can get to hold up to the harsh sun and wet weather.
Sanding the paint removes paint and that means LESS paint for a WORK truck to hold up over time.
I'm with you on sanding to make it look great but I also understand from the owner's point of view that after paying for the paint job you want it to L-A-S-T as long as possible.
