VW paint is very thick so if you were careful you could do it without taking off the original red.
I have only done it on doors though. You have to experiment with different grits to find one which takes of the blue easily without taking off the red.
Never take back to bare metal if possible. Original VW primer is worth keeping if you can.
The thing is you would probably still need to paint it red again, it's probably all different shades of red underneath which is why softlad painted it!

It's the mental bit which will be tricky.
Makes me think of those sand drawings buddhist monks do to learn patience.
Do you have a spare team of buddhist wet n dry monks?

I'll have a look at the invoice/receipt and let you know how much it was per litre… get all my paint from Reading paints in caversham!
I think it was around ?6-?7 a litre

I could be wrong about the price but I'm fairly sure it was about that much
