Good question. Many restored TRs have unpainted fasteners and are not usually
faulted during judging at shows. Everything was painted from the factory,
because the bodies were painted fully assembled (minus the front apron). They
were even primed, red oxide, assembled. When a car that was original is
disassembled, there is primer behind the apron, but no paint where areas can't
be reached once the apron had been installed. So, there was no paint or primer
under the washers or door hinges or between the fenders and tub. Dumb dumb was
used as sealer, gasket material between the fenders (wings) and the tub.
I painted everything disassembled and carefully painted the fasteners
separately too, when I restored my TR3. The car had never been apart before.
I paid close attention and photo documented every detail during disassembly. I
was able to assemble the body without chipping the paint on the fasteners too
much, then did a little touch up later. Installing the fender beading after
the paint was applied at the factory seems challenging, but perhaps certain
fasteners were left loose. Like the three bolts below the tail lights and
screws along the truck lid and the two under the scuttle/cowl panel for the
front fenders.
Good luck with your TR2.
