Everybody primes and paints over the old paint. Or are you saying they didn't sand the paint before they primed? As long as they used a good primer sealer it should be fine. There's even primer sealers that are self etching so you don't even need to sand before shooting it. I reshot my wife's '91 Tempo for under $100. I used Morton Easywork 2K high build primer, it's pretty cheap but you should seal it before shooting your top or color coat. Then I shot the car with a single stage Dupont white catalyzed enamel and although I sanded the whole car, there were spots I missed and it all still stuck well, and still looked good several years later when we sold it. I'd never shot enamel and had some hazing but that buffed out. Like someone once said, you can spend $300 or you can spend $3K and regardless, both are going to look like crap in 5-6 years. Most of the money spent on a paint job is prep, at it's wasted if what's put on top of it is cheap or isn't laid down right.
