Please excuse me for losing track of who initiated this thread; I
meant to comment a bit earlier.....
I was wondering about this too for my TR3a, when I read someplace that
the cars originally were painted with the fenders just loosely
attached, and then the beading was added and the bolts tightened up.
It seems like it would solve the question of getting the paint into
the cracks quite nicely, while avoiding the possibility of scratching
the newly painted fenders installing them if they were painted off the
car, so this is the approach I'll take.
Don't know how well this applies to the 4, but food for thought
anyway.

<< I have a couple of questions about painting a TR4. Not that I'm
anwhere near ready to do so but I'm just trying to plan ahead!!
Since the fenders are removeable is it better to paint the fenders off
the car or attached to the car? I'm assuming that painting the doors
is easier to do off the car. I assume with the fenders you would want
to trial fit before painting to make sure everything lines up
correctly.
