Default Painting the TC wing

The wing comes upside down with the body. Do you paint it along with the body or take the protective film off and paint on top?

I usually cut the wing out, take the film off, and then paint it (on the side where the film used to be).

I used to cut the wing free and paint it separately, but I started mis-collating wings and bodies, and even lost one or two wings. So I started leaving the wing attached. I now mask the whole underside of the shell, and cut free the protective film on the topside of the wing only - this way the paint ends up on the underside of the installed wing, so the whole topside of the completed shell is nice and shiny.

My fiftieth of a buck.
Cheers, and happy painting!
