But that means I will need to paint the whole thing (which needs to be done anyways) soon.

The nose cone and the rear bumper cover both differ than the rest of the body, and are both plastic. I did not see ALL of the work that went into this, but I know there was some light sanding and other work done, but light coats and heat was the trick to match the rest of the finish. A competent body shop can probably explain a little better but you are on the right track, definitely different material for these 2 pieces...
Good luck.
