I have opened a can of worms

Bought my 71 dart a little over a month ago, she has been bad, but i love her. This being my first project, I thought that I would tinker a bit and have fun with it. I am having a blast, with the exception of one thing. I feel like i am going in reverse, everything that I fix and get just right, will ultimately have to be disassembled, removed and then put back in just right after paint. I made an executive decision late last week. She is going to the body shop this tuesday. I am having little rust holes patched, new trim and moldings, engine bay and body painted. I am painting her a dark slate metallic with satin black accents(bumble bee, scoops and grill) Has anyone had experience with painted bumpers? Just curious how it would look? I will have a running 318 up for sale to anyone with a reasonable offer. She is getting a 406 stroker, new wiring new interior and the whole suspension re done. All i wanted was to tinker, then I saw all of your cars. I hate you guys. ha ha
