i did mine myself tbh o do all my bodywork and im self taught i just pay for proffessional spraying
when i removed boot lock and wiper i never took anywhere near as much space as u my advice is keep things smaller, no point up-setting unneccessary paintwork dude, i mean i never even went as high up as the window rubber as theres no need to
