Thanks for the comments. Bottom line: it's going to be done right and I'm not going to have to kill anyone.

I had met the owner of this place a while back, while getting an estimate on an old Honda. I had done a lot of prep and thought it was about ready to spray. He looked it over with me, pointing out flaws and explained that if his guys did it, they would have to strip it all off and start from scratch. He would not do it any other way, because his shop's reputation was on the line. The estimate was well beyond the practical into the 'labor of love' range. I still expect that the owner would be horrified if I had shown him the bumper. He was not around.
