                        I am starting to work with photo etched parts for the first time,  I have already cleaned the sheets.  I am building cockpit panels for my viper.  what I kneed to know is should I paint the individual instruments prior to super gluing them to the panel, or should I paint each piece then glue them in place

                        that would be the question!     will the super glue stick the pieces together or will it stick to the paint and come off later?

                        I've found it easier to glue after painting. A little lite sanding will give the paint better adhesion to the pe, plus primer always helps.
