Is there a drastically different process for preparing the fiber glass pieces for paint (like the skirts)? I want to take the initiative and start doing some of the prep-work myself while all the pieces are off. Is this not a good idea?

It is a good idea if the pieces have already been fitted and reinstal easily without prying and scraping. I had to do mine while on car. I got a horrible kit to work with and took me 3 days just to install. Everything was much smaller than the car.

By the way, do your best not to scrap or sand into the gel coat to much.
