I did a design of those. Made some prototypes but it still would chip paint off. If you got the insert soft enough not to do damage the inserts were weak enough they did not last. If you do have to do adjustments use an old hankerchief over the bolt and a 6 point socket/wrench. If you have access to an airbrush do touch ups with that.

Paint your car with the fenders and doors bolted on and adjusted already just like the factory did. It's not any harder to paint and your going to have to bolt all those parts on anyway. It has benefits too as to showing fitment problems BEFORE everything is color coated. Things like the hood and decklid I paint off the car. I bolt them on with "temporary bolts" with tape UNDER the washer for adjusting, then when it's all lined up I swap out the bolts one by one for a "colored correct" bolt.

...Didn't someone make some plastic socket/wrench inserts for that, where you go up a size or two then put in the insert?
Someone did...Eastwood just released something like this. I saw it in my catalog they send from time to time. Not sure if they actually work or not though.
