Message	At least you are going to have to blend into the adjacent panels and if you are putting front and rear bumpers from a body kit that only leaves the doors and hatch.Best is a total respray if you are not a well trained automotive painter .There is a procedure to follow using a letdown panel with varing amounts of pearl coats so you will know how many to apply to get the best match but in worst case situations like a car that has been painted before a total respray would be suggested .(sorry)
