Pre-paint any surface that is hard to get to and not necessarily visible (like under sheet metal), then assemble. Acid etching primer is better than red-oxide primer over bare metal.

Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that.
