Tape all the enges of your panels with masking tape, I use the green masking tape available at most auto parts stores...as it is designed (I am pretty sure) for automotive painting applications. This should help reduce or eliminate scratches or chips should panels come in contact with each other during reassembly.

Also, doesn't hurt to have an extra set of hands available to help hold and align panels during reassembly.

Take your time too!!
