Default paint question

Body work is done and getting ready for paint. Already done epoxy primer and high build. Everything looks smooth and good.Did the bc on door jambs and installed/adj doors. Now my question is should I spray the edge of the fenders(by the door and under the hood)and mount them to paint ,or do them off the car and mount after paint? They have been mocked up and core support is adjusted where it needs to be. Just not sure what is the better way to do this.

no paint lines if you do it apart but just a little more work and care when assembling though. the metalics can be a little tricky good luck

I'm about to the same stage on my car and I debated the same question. I went ahead and started cutting in my edges and plan to paint the car as assembled as possible. Both assembled and unassembled have their merits, personally I'm not coordinated enough to assemble without scratching the dog out of everything. Irgoatmike

It seems I never do a solid color anymore, so I just cut them in. If you want some slick results try some of this on the jambs. http://3mcollision.com/products/mask...ape-06800.html
