I save my trim scraps when I'm cutting out bodies to use for practice. And, I always cut my bodies out first and then paint them. I know many painters don't do that. Especially those guys who professionally paint because it saves them a ton of time. But, then you run the risk of scratching your paint job with the tips of the scissors. It just makes sense to me to cut first, paint second.
