You just need to take it to bare metal were their are dents that you are fixing. Other then that you should just sand off any clear coat and then sand the base coat with about an 800-1000 grit to create a good surface for the new paint to attach too.

i would never do this on my supra, but now im tempted to buy my friends beater and give it a shot. That charger loooks sick with that paint.
well, if you want to do it right, get an orbital sander, used for stripping paint, use 80 grit, once you are to bare metal, it doesnt take all that long, go back over it with a d.a. sander ( dual action 6 inch) with 80 grit, do the body work, then da the whole thing 180 grit, then prime the whole thing ( 3 coats) with a long block, sand by hand with 180, 220, then 320, then when you paint, make sure you get 2 good coats of sealer before the base coat
