Do I need to paint each panel separately before installation?

You can paint the panels on or off the car, depending on your setup and spray booth access. Many builders prefer painting off-vehicle for better edge coverage and masking control. Either method works — just ensure proper surface prep and primer application before your base coat.

Will this kit require new fasteners or can I reuse factory hardware?

This kit integrates with factory mounting points, so you'll use your existing attachment hardware. Verify fastener condition before installation; replace any corroded or damaged bolts to ensure a secure fit.

What surface prep is needed before painting?

Sand and prep the raw FRP surface per your paint supplier's recommendations for adhesion. A smooth, clean surface ensures your paint lays flat and bonds properly to the fiberglass panel.
