Need Paint Advice for a Ramcharger Hood

[themechanic]

I have a "power bulge" hood on my 69 Coronet. However, I like the ramcharger hood better. So, I bought a flat hood, pre-cut for the scoops, and some ramcharger scoops and the air box to replace it the existing hood. I will be taking the hood and scoops to a local shop for painting.

So, my question is, how to proceed? Do I get them painted separately then install the scoops or after installing the scoops. The air box gets installed last, I figured that much out myself.

How have you guys done it?

Thanks FBBO

paint them separately

Yes, paint them separately so you don't have spots un-painted underneath them on the hood.
