Re-paint question

[Guest oakland]

I have been reading articles about strippng paint before a car before repainting, but is it necessary to strip all the paint from a car before repainting? Could you wet sand the existing paint to remove all blemishes and paint over the existing paint? If you can, do you have to prime the car before top coating?
