Hello to all and happy new year. I have been thinking about this for a while and really considering it now. I would like to change the color of my bucket to a flat black with retro flames possibly. The color now is a ford silver and would like to just paint the fiberglass parts (bed, body, grill shell) and leave the frame silver etc.
My first question is can this be done by an average person. I have been told flat black is easy to spray, but not sure about prepping. I was told that I could spray over the current paint with little prep (scuffing etc.), but just not sure if I believe that. Obviously, I want to do this right so seeking advice from the paint experts out there. Below is an older pic of my bucket (pre interior change etc.).

The other thought I had was to start over with a new body from TP with top and seat insert. Since I would be taking everyting out of and off of the body to paint, may be a good idea to start fresh.
Too many things I want to do and too little time. What do the experts think?
