There's no need to totally strip parts for repaint. In fact it's better to protect the metal underneath if you leave the old paint and just prep it for new. The only reason to strip paint is if there is rust showing through.
My take.
This may be true but I have seen people prime and/or paint over peeling clearcoat, rust, scratches, and decals and stickers. It does not look too good and the paint looks uneven when people do this, just my opinion, but as said, I do like the red theem.
Oh, and I do have the ad, I'll take a pic after work if I can remember.
