BTW... you don't want to "strip" the paint off a replacement car. Paint is the perfect primer. They'll sand it for traction and paint. Now if it's some super different color they'll need to prime it for coverage.

how about no. Unless the body shop is too cheap to use sealer before they apply their basecoat.

in that case, they will feather edge the scratch to bare metal, prime it...and then block it out, but not the whole panel, Just the scratched area
