I don't know if you plan on masking it or not. It may seem simple but one little mistake in your masking can cause some nasty imperfections. Minor chips and scratches and be filled with putty or feathered out and primed.
Like everyone has said, preping is the most important part. Take your time and don't half ass it. Make sure the shop uses primer sealer since your color is going from one extreme to another.

VTEC, where do ya'll go to school together?
whiteEJ8 is exactly right. if you have ass it, your paint will suck. if you don't think it looks right when you're done, juss tell the shop that you aren't sure if it is preped completely or not. let them see it, and if needed, let them finish the prep. i guarantee you won't regret it.
