So I'm gonna start dissasembing the interior in preperation for my complete color conversion this weekend. My question is....the front end is dissasembled right now. Can I bolt the fenders and front end back on before painting? Is that a bad idea?? it would make my life a lot easier if I did, but if the fenders and front end should be painted separately, I'd leave them off.

What have you guys done?

Thx.

leave the bumper cover off

the fenders and hood can be put installed as long as you're not going to paint the engine bay. if so, you should leave them off. So it wont be as obvious that you changed the color of the car.
