i'd paint before, with a flexor additive in the paint. no masking, and you can manuever around the peices well. helluva lot easier

Yea but how do you get it to match the cars paint exactly? I thought once you installed a kit you had to repaint the entire car.

I would put it on first if u r paint the whole entire car but if you are painting the body kit alone then i'll paint the kit first then put it on.

You can look between your door and there should be a code paint number somewhere so you can go out and find that code paint and buy it.

btu what if his original paint is faded, then it wont match, unless its a brand new car I would think you would want to paint the entire car, that is if funds permit.

Yeah it wont match exactly as the body but i'll say over time the kit will soon fad down too and it will match in.

Thanks guys. I found a body shop in town that is going to paint it for me for like 200 bucks if I do the wet sanding. I can do that and Right now I cant have the whole car painted. funds are a big part, you know collage and all. Im just working on getting the kit painted, put on, and then buying some rims and tires. thanks for the help again
