to start off, the front end of my car was rebuilt prior to me buying the car, from an accident...
well, shortly after i got it, i noticed runs in the paint, chips of paint, globs of clear-coat, and my hood and headlights are not lined up correctly
about 4 months after i got my camaro, i backed into the back of an astro van with my front right fender (very odd angle) and the corner of the bumper cover...
i just ordered a new bumper cover and right fender, primed and ready to paint...
should i also take off and paint my left fender at the time i paint the bumper and right fender?
should i sand it down, and r-prime it?
i have never painted any body parts before, how hard is it to get a good paint job on there? what is a good quality paint, that will last?
also, i have a little chip on my drivers side rear end, would i have to take that off and repaint the whole fender? or what?
would it just be easier/cheaper to just put the panels on, and take it somewhere to be painted?
are there any walkthroughs to replacing panels?
and, finally... where can i find a list (or bag at that) of parts needed for the replacement?
there are a LOT of missing screws and those rubber connector screws in my panels, due to the previous rebuild i guess...
thanks for all the help!
