[QUOTE="ToledoDan, post: 726514, member: 13704"] I was in your situation a few months ago...had to make the decision to plumb and wire before or after paint. even through meticulous planning (think, CAD drawings, CNC water jet parts, spread sheets and punchlists that only an engineer would make), I still had to add stuff, cut stuff, rework etc. Without a doubt, I am glad I did not go through the expense of a decent paint job just to cut and weld on. Took it out for its first trip over thanksgiving. will be doing a little more cutting/welding before the next trip after Christmas. Plan to strip it down in June when it starts to get too hot in the south to do any wheelin. Not sure I would go through the trouble of a half-way strip down before plumb.wiring just to hit it with some Krylon, unless for some reason you don't plan to sand blast before painting....but then you are going to have a crappy paint job anyway so get to shakin those cans.
