Question I plan to touch up the paintwork on my car

This summer, I plan to touch up the paintwork on my car.
Since the car is rare, I want to prepare the painter by sending him a few instructional videos.
Therefore, I'm asking if you could help me and, based on your own experience, recommend any videos I haven't been able to find.

Here are the paint jobs to be done:
1) Roof (rust in several places) + 2 aluminum strips.

2) Left rear fender (rust on the wheel arch edge) - video tutorial on how to remove the taillights:

3) Right rear fender (rust on the wheel arch edge; dent in the upper part near the tailgate that needs to be hammered out)

4) Tailgate (rust near the lock)

5) Aluminum spoiler

6) Rear bumper

7) Front bumper - video tutorial on how to remove the front bumper:

8) Left and right door edges

9) Renovation of door handles on both doors - sanding and painting silver/ash - video tutorial on how to remove Door trim/upholstery and access to the door handles:

10) Renovation of the decorative element - imitation air intake on the front left fender - sanding and painting silver/ash gray

11) Renovation of three horizontal plastic strips on the so-called grille, i.e., in the front above the license plate - gluing the damage + sanding and painting silver/ash gray

12) Repair of the tailgate lock (it doesn't reflect light) + replacement of the license plate light lenses (I'm providing two new ones) + replacement of both bulbs (one is burned out)

13) Inserting pieces of new sheet metal in the corroded areas in both front wheel arches - an instructional video on how to remove the front fenders:

Paint color:
040/P40 Black Clear Coat

Completion time:
Approximately 3 weeks, late June/early July 26
