69 Superbee Hemi Orange, Rare white tail stripe white interior

The body shop wants to paint the fenders and doors seperate, then hang them on the car. Doesn't all of the hardware get a coat of paint?

If they paint things independent, then hang them the bolts will require another coat. All of the hardware has been tumbled clean.

Thoughts?

That's the way I done mine. I painted all the bolts and hardware and then just touched it all up after I got it put together.

I'd find a different shop! Hemi Orange painted at different times will result in a two tone car.
Car should be painted as an assembly or at the very least painted all at same time with parts hung at the same angle as being on the car.
Then although not optimal bolts touched up after parts hung.

I think they will hit them with first coat unassembled,, then assemble, then spray again and clear coat..

Pretty common practice to have panels off during the spraying of the car..Just of ease of moving around the vehicle as well as more premium lighting and positioning for painting. Typically it's all done at the same time though. If you're worried about the bolt heads, instruct them to paint them. If they don't or forget, you can buy 2 part (2K) premixed or custom mixed paint in a spray can now days. Use a socket insulator, plastic sockets or some soft paper toweling in a socket/box end wrench to protect the paint while tightening. Use touch up for any little flaws..Good luck.

Agreed. I have a Y2 Coronet that was painted by Shelly's a$$hole body shop in Danielsville, Pennsylvania. Shot panels at different times. You can se the difference. He blamed the
paint.
