having side panels painted
is it best to have the side panels painted off the car reason being my panels are a real tight fit and the panel has to be bent from the scuttle and
then twisted so I can attach to chassis at the lower front.i don't want to get them painted only for it to get damaged whilst fitting.the panels
are alloy by the way

They will look so much nicer in polished alui (IMHO)
Thats was probably spelt wrong, or had some grammer, that the "grammer police have to have a moan at

In that case I would say definitely paint them on the car. Or have you thought about wrapping them instead ?
I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.

I did think of wrapping but how close of a colour match with rest of car would they get

Is wrapping resilient enough,just thinking of stone chipping etc?

just the bonnet and sides (see before and after above)
I know he fitted it himself and the material only cost him £30
obviously he was lucky with the colour match to his existing GRP
