I would leave all the bodywork to them. You can always remove all the trim and anything else that they would have to.

have it all blasted and primed, and make sure all they have to do is clean and paint

The prep is long hard and messy and if you don't have the tools id leave it to them.But i would strip all the chrome and any trim off and the head lights and tail lights.

I'm picking mine up from the paint shop tomorrow. I removed everything from the exterior that could be removed. That should save you some money and it will also let you know if you need to replace any bolts. It should knock a good bit of labor off the price.

like msu stated, remove anything you can take off. but leave the prep to them. some shops will not do work behind someone else!
