Do I need to paint each piece separately or can I assemble first?

You can paint the pieces as a complete assembly or individually before installation — either approach works fine. Many builders prefer painting off the car for cleaner coverage and easier masking. Let each coat fully cure before handling or mounting.

What prep is needed before painting?

Sand the surface with appropriate grit to create tooth for paint adhesion, then wipe down with a tack cloth to remove dust. Follow your paint manufacturer's recommendations for primer type and application. Standard prep methods for fiberglass apply here.

Will this kit require modification to fit, or do the mounting points line up with OEM locations?

Verify fitment by checking each panel against your vehicle's body lines and existing mounting points before final installation. Minor adjustments to fitment tabs or mounting hardware may be necessary depending on body condition and prior repair history.
