Default What should I do

A few days ago i was hit in the front.

My vehicle - 1995 Acura integra 4 Door

My car operates fine but the fender, front end and hood are broken into pieces and I plan on replacing them.

I am debating if I should paint my whole car

If i do i plan on stripping the whole car with kleanstrip.

and bondo all my dents on the doors.

I am going to use omni ppg, i have not decided on a color yet.

I have read through the forums and people have suggested taking off the front end and bumper and paint them separately. Are there any other parts you guys suggest to take off and paint separately ?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

IF YOU WANT IT TO LOOK NICE I WOULDNT GO WITH RATTLE CAN PRIMER,YOU SHOULD USE PRIMER AND SPRAY OUT OF YOUR GUN,AND IF YOU ARE TRYING TO PIANT FOR THE FIRST TIME AND WANT A NICE JOB I WOULD PRACTICE FIRST
