Fender Skirt Seals

[Patrick brophy]

I am getting ready to do the final paint on my 1957 Thunderbird, and that would include the fender skirts.

I am unsure of the status of the fender skirt seals as far as paint. Do they get affixed to the the skirt ,before paint ,or after ?

The car is going to be white, and of course the rubber seals are black and will show up.

I bought a Body Trim and Sealant assembly manual from Faxon, and the fender skirts are not mentioned that I can see.

Any advise ?
