It's been quite a while since I've updated this, but I decided to get rid of the original stain. The green color looked fine, but ultimately not what I was going for, so I sanded off what I had. The stain I used was a wipe-on stain from Wudtone, and as you can see in the pictures, I wasn't able to get all of the original stain off, especially on the top near the neck pocket. The stain seems to be too deep in the grain.
My goal is to now use automotive paint instead. I have the primer and the color coat for the paint, but my question is preparing the wood for the paint. Should I apply a sanding sealer before I start using the primer? The Wudtone stain specifically could not have sealer on the body, and I don't have much experience with it, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
