I am getting ready to replace the inner front fender, kick panel, and front door post. I just removed the whole front clip assembled together and have a few questions:
1. After getting everything welded and lined up, do you go ahead and paint the inner fender,kick panel, door post back area or paint them when yoiu paint the entire body.
2. Is it better to paint the exterior fenders and grill before they go back on, or paint them off of the vehicle as seperate pieces and assemble them and then put them back on. Put them back on a piecew at a time or assemble and mount the whole front clip like I took it off.? Just don't wanna scratch them trying to get them back together and lined up.
3. Do you paint the new mounting bolts that hold the fenders on or leave them bare stainless.
Just trying to figure out what order is the easiest and best way to paint and get everyhing back together.
Thanks Much,
