It can't be stressed enough to assemble the front clip and thoroughly adjust it prior to painting. Do this procedure as though you were going to enter your truck in a show which would deduct points from your score for poor fitment. Close enough isn't good enough, unless you want to risk scratching your new paint job by trying to make all of the adjustment necessary to make everything fit (which you could have done prior to paint). Not preaching, just saying.
