resoration painting

Restoring the body at least. Almost everything is in parts. So should I paint the individual parts then assemble, or just . . . what? If so, do I give a full finish coat before assembling, or perhaps just the first coat, let dry, assemble and a finish coat?
Or what?
Thanks.

on a full restoration, you should paint everything you can apart. You get better coverage and it will look more professionally done that way. thats my opinion anyway.
