Terminology Q:



I don't like definition B because I don't think you are going to get much of a result without at least some sanding.  So I'll go with A.  Of course I would call what I'm doing on my Passat a respray, and I'm sanding through clear and color and down to primer.  I'll prime and work up to clear, and I've removed every relevant piece of trim.  I guess its synonymous with repainting the car in my book just because that's the way I think it should be done. ...but I'm picky.

Sadly, there is no de facto application of this term.  Resprays are largely<br>ad hoc.  That said, I interpret the word (or action) to be the typical:<br>light sanding, if any, combined with as little trim removal as possible and<br>masking tape around the remaining bits.<br><br>I think we should relegate the words use to item C and come up with new<br>terms and definitions.
