Paint and Assembly Process Advice
I prefer to paint the jams, engine compartment including the bottom of the hood, floor pans and roof interior, trunk including bottom of decklid, and the bottom of the car along with the front wheel wells and back sides of the fenders. Then assemble the body and mask off anything you've already painted to prevent overspray when you spray the shell. There are good places in every jam to tape to in order to minimize color sanding to blend after paint. Paint the assembled shell all at the same time, on the same day so it will all be the same color. It matters the most to do metallic colors this way, but I just like mine to get the exterior all painted on the same day under the same atmospheric conditions. Best of luck to you. I'm sure it will turn out great!
