Im not actually paintin the hole car.. just the front end and the kit!
I know.. hit and run .. i was sooooo pissed... but i tracked him down.. it was about a week later.. gave him the option of paying a bunch of fines and goin thru insurance, or giving me cash to cover all the repairs and parts ... he chose cash

I am unsure if I would have used bondo and redlead on the bumper. The urethane is flexible, the fillers are not. One good flex (or even a bunch of little ones) and the paint and fillers are bound to crack and eventually pop off.
Even paint has problems with the flexible bumpers. You need to add a "flexable" agent to it when you paint bumpers and such.
