i got the panel from a junkyard b/c i didnt want to mess up the stock one. the prep work wasnt too bad...just got a hand sander with fine grit and went to town on the factory paint...after that i put about 5 or 6 coats of primer on myself (sanding between each coat) and then took it to a local body shop to have them finish it off b/c i dont have a spray gun.
