Is it It depends on how the paint was originally applied. Frequently the SS is acid-etched when paint is applied, this will make restoring the finish very difficult. Painted cars are also frequently victims of bondo body repair, which you may uncover when you remove the paint. Your best bet is to just buy an unpainted car.
