no the last thing I want is to redo it.... I sanded down where the paint was cracking... that is the only way I know how to describe it... they are small (about a 1/8) of and inch in a couple locations.... I was hopeing that I could just sand these areas down put some putty then prime but if they need to be stripped to do it right that is what I will do ... I still have almost 4 months to get it under paint before my wedding and I plan on taking off a week when I am ready to base and clear.... I figure I should be able to get it done in this time... thanks for all the help
