Can I paint each piece separately before installation?

Yes. Painting each component individually before mounting allows you to achieve even color coverage and catch drips without masking the vehicle. Sand the primer surface, apply your primer and paint, then install once cured.

Will the side skirts affect my jack point access?

Reference your vehicle's OEM jack point locations and the skirt profile before installation. Side skirts typically sit lower than jack points, but verify clearance with your specific setup to avoid obstruction during maintenance.

Do I need seam tape or gap filler where the pieces meet the body?

Proper fitment should minimize gaps. If gaps exist after dry-fitting, automotive seam sealer or flexible gap filler applied before painting will ensure a clean, weather-resistant finish between kit pieces and your vehicle's existing panels.
