If the existing paint and metal finishing is good and it only requires a 'color' change then there should be NO REASON WHATSOEVER to strip it to bare metal.

Just a repaint. If the shop gives u some song and dance about not able to spray laquer over enamel or visa versa or some other gimmick pitch for stripping then u probably need to find another shop that knows how to do it.

Shoiuld not be necessary to remove any trim.

If the EXISTING paint is checked or general poor quality or bad dents/rust etc then stripping could very well be needed.

A simple color change only requires lite sanding, tape it off and spray it. That's all. It's a ROUTINE process for DECADES!
