It ain't to hard tbh mate just make sure when ya spray take ur time and do even strikes as ya paint and make sure ya have no runs in ur paint i think youtube has videos so ya can looks how to can spray. The filling is just a slow process but is easy enuff

There's not much of a swage line in the pre-facelift bumpers iirc? Does anyone have a pic of a facelift bumper done?
