how much prep is required/did you guys do? (for those of you who did this)

did you guys take panels off then prep and paint or do it with everything still assembled?
hows it look over bondo?
Sand and prep just like any other paint job...the better you do this part, the better the paint job turns out. You can paint over bare metal with Rustoleum. I did minimal masking and left almost all the chrome on. It looks decent over bondo...I've got bondo in the cab corner area and it looks nice. It's a work truck that tuened out pretty decent....please...do not think that this is as good as a professional spray job with real automotive paint...it's not...but it is a low cost alternative that looks decent....
