You can spray over flatted paint but you get a much better finish re priming it.
Can't be arsed to type any more than that.

i'm a qualified panel beater and have been working in the trade for 5 years and everything steve has said above is correct if your respraying a car u only need to primer repairs or new panels as long as the paint on the car is in good condition and isn't flaking other wise it obviously has to b flatted down and primed
but your 100% right steve,there is no point in priming a whole car for a respray,u key up the factory paint using scotch brite and fine flatting paper to key the factory paint,so what help would primer b

the only things u prime are the pannels that have been filled.u flat of the whole car with either p800 wet or u use fine scotch brite and flatting paste. priming all the car is a waste of time coz then u have to flat all of the primer down and that is harder than flatting the original paint work

Its a sticky cloth that picks up bits of dirt and dust before you paint.

omg wat the fuck has this been dug up again for. yes i was wrong back then, just scotch brite the existing paintwork unless there is stone chips etc....
tack cloth is for removing dirt of the surface before spraying
