Not sure if glueing them shut works when you put them back together. I striped this back to bare metal and tried to be careful but they still rub a bit.

i always spray mine apart now as i use to do it together,think thats the problem as paint gets jamed in the gaps,i also paint metallic paint seperate now & they turn out fine,as long as ur given it the same coats & spray pattern it will match the other bits.
yeah be tricky to put bits back on if glued up.
