Hood: separate into four pieces. Paint, reassemble.
gas tank: Was originally painted on the body. Underside wasn't covered very well. I paint underside, install on body, and finish painting with rest of body, including welting. If going for fine point, paint assembled on body only.
splash aprons: Paint separately, then install.
