Fab. My mate has a spray business so painting not an issue. Just the fitting to sort.

I think, if you're a rivet counter, those ones are to be painted before riveting.
Check, as I'm not sure, and can't be bothered to look it up now.

That is correct, paint them before fitting as the lip on it sits behind the main side panel on the tub so cannot be accessed for painting after fitting.

Have some pictures to help you and OP, depending on how much work you are doing to the rear body there is a fair amount of station wagon body rebuild documented on my thread here: LINKNever having owned a 110, I’ve never noticed that is a separate panel. Being a nosey bugger, I had to look at some 110’s to work out what the hell you guys are talking about. Every day is a school day eh
You can see on the below the panels is removed showing the bottom of the c-pillar that it rivets onto
You can see on ethe below here where I have painted the edges that you cannot access once fitted and then riveted into place. I did it this way around because i wanted to paint the rivet head as well rather than leave them unpainted.
I was painting the whole tub as part of a rebuild so you can see here the whole panels primed and painted including the rivets.
