Hey guys, Im supose to be taking in my front and back bumpers, and hood tommorow to get painted, If it was you guys getting the work done would you take the bumpers off for the body shop and just take the parts in, or would you take the whole car in with the body parts on the car and let them paint the bumpers on the car. I've tooken off the front bumper cover and it seems like its going to be extremely hard to put the cover back on without damaging the fresh paint.
so the question is leave everything on the car or take it off. what would you guys do?

Thanks in advance.

i would do them off the car becuase they are easier to paint that way... if you have someone help you put it back on you wont ruin it... just have someone grab one side and you grab the other... this is a daily occurance at our shop seeing as we paint all the bumpers off the car....as for the hood... if it doesnt need to be edged in (underside) id leave that on the car but thats your call...

You need to take them off. you can't paint the bumper on the car. It turns out much better because all the edges and indentions get painted.

You really don't have a choice. you need to have them painted off the the car and have the shop re-install them. Otherwise it will look like ****
