the bumper and header on my 951s was resprayed some time in its 20 year life. it was sprayed on the car.
when the adjuster for the kamikze civic that hit the nose came to estimate the diminution in value he said the car was in a previous front end accident because there was overspray on the core support/frame.
had the bumper been removed and painted properly i would not be in small claims court.

But, seeing how I'm almost positive my S2 has been resprayed at some point in its life (there appear to be some tape lines on the lips of the hood), maybe it doesn't matter.

It matters. You can't properly prep/paint the bumper while it is on the car, period. If you choose to do it w/o disassembly, thats fine but the job will be compromised. Imo, not worth the savings(<$100) and I would turn the job down if asked to do it this way, especially on a pcar.
