it took my body shop 2 1/2 days to paint the kit so I told them to paint it first then i'll bring my car in to install it. I just did it that way because I couldn't be without a car for 2 1/2 days.

Don't drive around with a primered kit. Just do it all at once.

PLEASE do it all at once. It looks so ugly when people drive around with primered kits
