Paint before or after assembly?

I have my car completely torn down. Should I paint the parts in pieces or completely assemble it and the paint it? Pros/Cons?

It doesnt really matter. I think its easier to do a nice job spraying the parts on the car. Definitely cut everything in while apart though...

i prefer all together. just to make sure you dont accidentally do a different amount of coats or a different technique and have two panels look different that may happen to butt together
