the only reason i need to take them out is to paint them, should i just paint them from the inside without removing them?
Like gothand said. If the factory didn't paint them, and there hidden, then why bother. But if you must, use a small artists brush and paint them that way. No removing and no over spray.

Justin.....he's talking about painting the panels, not the rivets. We are saying to take the panels out of the car to paint them. But yeah, I see your point if all he wants to do is paint the panels, then just use a brush and paint away without worring about overspray. But don't use a small artists brush. Use a big *****. Ain't the English language fun?

I painted my rivets before I install then I push the pin through a rag so I have a cusion between the rivet and the rivet gun so I dont scratch the paint.
