Ok, so it's all apart and you go to put it back together. And you align a fender/hood/door/hinge/etc, tighten a bolt and then move it some and tighten a bolt, etc. How the H e double hockey sticks do you paint the bolts/panel back after you knock the paint off? And it's a tough color, not flat black. Get my question? Not cad bolts, painted bolts.

There are tools available to help protect the painted bolt heads. But the easiest way is to put a little catalyzed paint in a dixie cup and use an artists paint brush to touch up the bolt heads as needed. You can get several coats on before it sets in the cup. If its B/C just mix some base into some clear.

And, agreed with what's been said above. Just pull the splash shield to get to the top nut/stud. It's pretty easy.
