I agree, can’t understand why guys paint stuff off the car when factory painted it all together then painted the inside of doors the interior color

I just finished a plum crazy repaint on my 70 Challenger. I painted doors, trunk lid and hood separately. Now is time to put back together. What would be best.....to paint the fender bolts et al or put Not new shiny ones in??? I can't make up my mind Not sure why you would even want to put "new shinny" ones in. Not only were the original bolts black phosphate but were installed on the car before paint. There was also some seam sealer between the fenders and the inner fenders. Since it is too late to put the seam sealer in at least paint the bolts body color.

If it is custom then do it how you want. For a pro street or race car I might use ARP 12 point stainless for the fender bolts to provide a nice contrast with the paint. I wouldn't do that for a resto type build.

Body sheetmetal was assembled and aligned before the paint, so everything will get painted after that. That's of course factory look.

Mine are usually always painted body color. I choose to leave them as plated on my Challenger for a little extra detail since almost nothing is stock anymore.
