You gonna need to get them painted. And it isnt to hard to put them on. Basic tools. Screwdrivers and a ratchet set will get it done.

You never paint bumpers or any other panel for that matter on the car when you paint it..

Honda Autobody did on mine. That way they could fade the paint so it didn't look funny from a freshly painted fender to the 13 year old door with original paint. It looked great when they were done.

It would depend if you are mechanically inclined, how the kit fits and lines up, how critical you are about your car.

your incorrect dude... Realistically painting varies from touching up, small partial panel spot repairs to complete restorations and re-builds.
