Default When purchasing a new body kit??!!

If I purchase a body kit that replaces the Front & Rear Bumper, along with 2 side skirts, when the body shop is paint matching do they do the install first then paint or does the paint come before the install? And if anyone on here can give me the whole process of this that would be UBER nice

I'm kind of a noob when it comes to exterior mods...

Thanks!!!

they're going to paint it off the car so they don't have to do as much taping...

they *should* do a little painting ont eh adjacent panels to to blend the colors together

They usally test fit it first before doing any body work, then once they see they can work with it and how it fits they prep it, paint it then install it...

Always make sure the body kit fit properly before painiting. The last thing you want to do is paint first then find out a piece doesn't quite fit right.

I would put the kit on for proper fit then take it off to paint.
