yes indeed, i removed all the lights, door cards, sill finishers, bumpers, anything attached to the body, its all in good shape just needs cleaning, GV sand blasted the bumpers and light guards, i dropped the car off ready to prepped.
the thing is with paint, its the prep that determines the finish (as well as the capability of the painter) so wanted to make sure they had good areas to work with to get a good finish.
they've spent a lot of time flushing off any dings and panel imperfections that have occurred over 25 years !
