If the painter is good - color blends well - then either is fine, really. Will he be
blending (painting) the fenders as well?

I would opt for base/clear since the rest of it is. I also paint and only use base/clear.
And to help with chip resistance, ask him to catalyze the base. And maybe one
epoxy sealer coat before the shooting bc/cc.

I'm not a fan of Keystone reconditioned bumpers or any other for that matter
as they tend to use cheaper primers. If you can, get aftermarket (made in China)
CAPA certified bumper and hood. It should be cheap and easier prep.
