like forphorty we always paint all the bolt on panels separately and install them after the rest of the car is painted. You get a better wrap around of paint on the edges and I've never found a way to paint the shell assembled with all the underhood stuff installed and not have paint get around the edges of the hood and doors and end up as overspray under hood and in the jambs.
