Best way to avoid paint chips on bolts? Simple, install and adjust the bolt on painted parts (hoods, fenders, deck lids, doors, etc.) before painting the car just like the factory did. I cant for the life of me figure out why so many people restoring Mopars swim up stream on this one and paint there cars in pieces as if they were building a Chevy. If you want to cover hidden areas with paint you can always pre paint those areas and assemble the car before final paint. Why fight it? Apparently you aren't a fan of Graveyard Carz.

Might be possible to air brush the bolt heads to hide any blemishes after tightening?
Painters who have done (fill in the blank) a certain way for years are difficult to change. The ones I have dealt with either do their way or you can take your car someplace else, pretty much. Some only paint with one brand of paint and that is it, for example....
It's become incredibly difficult to get a nice quality complete paint job on an old car so people just take what they get and are grateful to get their car back
Exactly!

I can think of thousands of reasons.... average guy, no lift, small garage, superbird, rotisserie resto, I am so glad my body guy will ship the car with no front fenders, let me get it running, align it, then take it back and he installs the front. It was pretty much his way or the highway on that, he did not want to repair problems later.
