Cuda is home from paint

Use the blue masking tape, soft rags and even a chamois to protect the paint while you reinstall everything. Take your time and watch closely for any sharp edges as you bring parts into final position. If you can, get a helper for the larger parts.

Take the time to clean, polish and repaint your hardware before installing it.

The longer the paint cures/dries before finish buffing the better your end result. All paint and body filler shrinks to some degree over time.
