The question of the century. I opt for paiting the strips first and then installing them. The problem I have seen is this. These stips are made of vinyl. Vinyl is nasty stuff. It shrinks quickly when you get into hot weather like we have down here. If the strips are painted/sealed onto the fenders ....they crack and mess up the paint. If you paint the beading first....when they finally do crack they do not mess up the fenders. Ray
