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

Paint each panel separately before final assembly. This gives you clean, even coverage on all edges and mounting surfaces. Once cured, you can bolt everything together without risk of paint chipping during handling.

What prep work do I need before painting?

Sand the surface with your chosen grit to achieve proper paint adhesion, then wipe clean of dust. Follow your paint manufacturer's guidelines for primer application and topcoat. FRP accepts standard automotive finishes without additional bonding agents.

Will this kit require any modifications to fit, or do the mounting points align with OEM locations?

Verify all mounting points against your vehicle's frame and existing bumper attachment hardware before final installation. Some minor drilling or bracket adjustment may be necessary depending on condition of the OEM mounting surfaces—reference your vehicle's service manual for exact hole locations and fastener specifications.
