Bodykits: what first, Paint or glue and putty..?

[Wishmaster]

Im in some sort of dilemma.. do I need to paint the parts of a veilside bodykit first or glueing and puttying as the frist thing..

I just can't figure it out what needs to be done before I do the next thing..

I would figure glue them on and fix whatever needs to be fixed first, before painting.

Putty -> Glue -> Paint. (for the most part.)

Do all the necessary glueing and puttying first. You want it to look right before any paint goes on there. Check your handy work by applying primer and if all looks well then spray your desired colour.

I dont know if this is of any use to you but take a look anyway http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/t63655.html

Thnx Chris, already read it multiple times, and if I can do the same, mine would look better to, only 1 thing bothers me, where stands 10thou for...? if it is thickness of the plate, how thick is it then in mm...?

Yes, 10 thou refers to the thickness - 10 thousandths of an inch which is roughly 0.25mm.
