Dont forget, painting is 95% prep and 5% painting. Dont cut corners, especially if you are painting it a dark color. Masking, sanding, grinding, scuffing, filling small dents/ dings/ scratches all should be done carefully. Inspect all of the prep work very carefully b4 you paint, cause minor imperfections will be multiplied 10x when painted over.

I did my own wing and bumper. Make sure your prep work is done properly and correctly. You do not want to paint and find out later that the bondo, or primer is cracking beneath it. Take your time and have a lot of patience. And remember 3 light coats is better than one heavy coat when painting
Have fun, b/c it is very rewarding when you are done.
