If you paint everything off the car what do you do about bolts that should be painted?

Thank you everyone, the information here is great! I have thought about doing the whole job on my own in my garage. I have the equipment but not a clean environment like a paint booth to paint it in. My biggest concern is dust in the paint after it is sprayed if I spray it at home Does a paint booth guarantee paint free from dust? I'm hoping so. But I have not completely ruled out doing it at home yet as the painter is willing to help me as a teacher, consultant, as thus far.
Here's a question on what was said about the benefit of pre painting panels before assembly with regard to preserving overlaps from rusting. If the panels are sprayed in epoxy sealer before assembly, won't that give it protection from rust? Should I spray the area to be overlapped first?
Thanks again! CAC

I'm now looking at only using a single stage PPG paint since the color is R4, bright red, not metallic. I think for a first paint job, this is the way to go from what I have researched. I am putting together a dry air system so that I can paint in my garage. I already have a fresh air hood system. If the underbody and under hood area come out well then I will spray the whole car at home too. The temperature and lack of humidity don't get better than here for paint so I think I may pass on the paint booth.

When painting a whole car without a vinyl top what is the preferred sequence of spraying?
Btw the info provided here is very good
The sequence actually depends on the type of booth used. I.E. Down draft booth, side draft, etc.
The general preference is to do the roof and sail panels first, and work your way down.
After that I usually do the entire trunk area, then a side. Move on to the hood area, and the the remaining side.
This is just one way to do it, and I personally like to use slower activator to give me extra time to get around an entire car. This works especially well with clear coat.
Another note, if you are using waterborne color ( DuPont at least) they suggest you paint each panel with color to full hiding, and then move on to the next panel. In other words, don't shoot the whole side of the car at once. Do the quarter first, then the door, then the front fender. Any other questions just ask!
