Ok then I will try that. Removing the fascias doesnt seem like the easiest job in the world either, but who siad restoring one of these cars would be easy.
 
Thanks again,

Why bother removing your fascias prior to painting, you are likly to 
scratch the paint when you re-install it and it will cause you a 
load of hassell.

Unless it actually needs straightening then I would paint it on the 
car.

Make sure you use a primer, else the new paint may react with the 
old and have some weird effects :-)

Most body shops I have dealt with very rarely remove car parts to 
paint them , thay are just very good at masking bits off.
