Stepside Fenders

[wayno]

So I have sent my bed pieces off to get media blasted... when I took the the fenders off the stepside - I noticed gaskets between the fender and the bed side. So this brings up a couple of questions - 1). where do I find a set of these - don't see them on LMC 2). For you guys with Stepsides - did you paint the bed apart - put this gasket in place and then assemble - can't image trying to mask this gasket and trying to tigthen phillip screws after they have been painted doesn't seem like a good idea either... what have other guy done here?
