Painting my car

I am getting a body kit for my 95 GS-T. Is it better to put it on and then get my car painted (since I am changing the color of my whole car) or to paint them seperate? I would rather just put them on and then paint, what do yall think?

Re: Painting my car

I just had my entire car repainted by a body shop in my area. They painted the bumpers, doors, sideskirts, hood and trunk seperately. Don't know if this helps or not. Good luck.

Re: Painting my car

Well if you put them on then paint them you can seal the edges of the kit to the car and have a really nice flushed look...Otherwise you will look just like they have been bolted on and do not really belong...

Thanks for the insight guys, it does make more sense just to put them on.

Thanks

Re: Painting my car

mold on the sides but dont mold on the front or the back the back especially. if its molded on and you bottom it out its pretty easy to crack it loose then you have to get it remolded and repainted
