Can I paint each piece separately before installation?

Yes. Each piece can be painted individually before assembly. Sand and prep the primer surface, apply your chosen color coat, and allow full cure time before mounting. This method reduces masking time during final fitment.

Do I need special tools or a professional to install this?

Installation uses factory mounting points with standard hand tools. Most owners handle bolt-on fitment themselves. If you're unfamiliar with panel alignment or fastener torque specs, a shop install ensures gaps and panel gaps stay even—reference your vehicle's service manual for fastener torque values.

What prep is required before painting?

Sand the primer surface with appropriate grit, wipe clean, and apply your chosen primer or base coat per paint manufacturer instructions. FRP accepts standard automotive finishes—no special sealers required. Allow cure time between coats and before installation.
