I got the Pcar almost apart, getting it ready for a paint job. I have removed the front fenders to clean out the body sealer and remove the fender to cowl beading and eliminate a small amount of surface rust. Would you have the car painted with the fenders on or off? I can remount the fenders using washers so that the fenders "stand off" from the body slightly so that the new paint won't "glue the fenders to the body and the painter can get a nice even coat on all the parts at the same time. OR, I can leave the fender off and have them painted separately with the possibility that the color might not match as well. I have already resprayed the mounting surfaces with self etching primer so I am not worried about corrosion, etc. Thoughts?
