Paint question... Front Bumper only...

My front bumper cover paint is way chipped and damaged, from my roadtrips last summer. Crosscountry three times. My car is SWP.
My question is, if I do most of the prep work, (ie. sanding removal etc.) would it be ok if I took it to my local maaco spot to get sprayed? It looks like its been resprayed before and the paint is also chipping on the sides by the sti stickers.
Like I said Maaco would only be doing the respray of the front bumper and I'd be doing the prep work. They say paint looking good is all in the prep work right. What ya'll think?

Yeah you can do prep work. It will save you money. The shop might not like it but they're not going to turn away business.

Also, I have the bumper vent piece you wanted awhile ago. Bought if for you about a month ago.
