Bob this is one of those classic areas that you really can't make rules up for. You have to think through how you want to do things beforehand and then follow your plan.

Some things are better painted on the sprue, some things are better assembled first, it all depends on the particular model and how it is assembled.

Don't be afraid though of doing what you think best rather than what you think you should do.

If you have a specific scenario to deal with then ask and I'm sure there will be as many differrent ideas as there are answers and none of them will be wrong!!
