Do I need to paint each piece separately or can I assemble first?

You can assemble the kit either way. Many builders prefer to paint individual panels before installation for cleaner coverage and easier masking. If you assemble dry-fit first, you can identify any gaps or seams, then disassemble to paint and seal those areas before final installation.

What surface prep do I need before painting?

Sand the entire surface to remove the mold release agent and create paint adhesion. Once sanded smooth, wipe clean and apply your chosen primer and topcoat system. The raw FRP condition means you're starting with a clean, bare FRP surface ready for your prep work.

Will this kit work with my existing bumper and hardware mounting points?

Reference your vehicle's OEM bumper hole locations, sensor positions, and bracket attachment points before drilling or fastening any kit panels. The kit's fitment aligns with stock anchor points, but you'll need to verify clearances on your specific setup and adapt fastening as needed.
