Spraying it apart is fine, on a solid color, but unless you like putting it together and taking it apart, you will have to repaint/blend everything after it is assembled to get the metallic to match. And to those who say "well I did it and it matched fine," then you are extremely lucky, and my hat is off to ya! The reason they do this is to avoid tape lines, yet I haven't had 1 person notice my tape lines on the jambs, or under the hood at shows, they are practically invisible. But torture yourself if you like! Nothing more aggrivating than scratching new paint while you are lining up the fenders/hood/doors etc........and then having to shoot it again anyway........but what do I know, after 30 years of it........
