Thread: welting and painting question

Did you paint the car with the fenders on or off the car? I am concerned since my rear fenders "pull" up to the running boards... and I don't know if that will cause the paint to crack if I painted them off the car then installed them...

thanks.

Mine pulled up to the RB's just fine, both the Wescott's 'glass in front and the steel in the back but I did spend a lot of fit up time on both. Most of the "new" urethane paints will flex a lot - and the fact that 'glass cars are a bit floppy, particularly the fenders, I wouldn't have any concerns
