Problem is if they do a pearl or metallic paint job it's usually best to have the car totally assembled before painting so the effect will lay the same all around .
Doing the prep work yourself will save you money though . Sanding the body with 400 grit until it shows no more gloss at all and removing any trim would be a lot of labor time deducted . Then just tell them that when they remove trim that you didnt to please sand those area that were unreachable with 400 also .
Make sure your paper is soaked and make sure to switch paper after every 2 fenders or after the hood is done . Use a foam block
