Personally, I'd recommend waiting until you have the money to paint before you drive it around mismatched. I know you're anxious to switch and see the results, but it just doesn't look right driving around with mismatched parts like that. I did it myself for a week, but that was just because the paint shop said they could take my car one day, and then turned around and said they couldn't take it till later that week. Most parts that you buy (if they're reproduction and brand new, I mean, which you can get pretty cheap off ebay) are going to be ready for paint. If you get parts that are used and already painted, then just sand it down and get as much of the paint off as you can. Again, this is personal opinion, but I would recommend not primering the parts yourself. Paint is a complex system, and you would need to use a primer that will work with the paint the paint shop uses. In the end, while doing some of the work yourself to save money is a good idea, in the long run (IMO atleast) it's better to just let the professionals do what they do best so it's done right and looks great.

u got to bubble blast it, i did a conversion and i drove a multi color car for 4 weeks but i got everything primed and painted and the same time professional who cares what others think, people used to ask me if i crash my car, or if i was embarrassed to drive it and my answer was no cause i knew what i got, now once painted people that seen the car before stop me alot cause they're impress with the work done. here take a look and judge by yourself.
