Even if you really do a good job, likely the painter will still do a lot more work. I think if I had it to do over again (never), I would get it close, but not shoot for perfection, and leave the final bodywork to the painter or other bodywork professional. Nothing's worse that doing a ton of work and still having to write a large check for bodywork. But a bunch of us, me included, have gone down that road.
