I wouldn't "test fit" anything that's painted, that is if if the cab is painted and you test fit the doors or fenders to it, there will be damage. I wouldn't even primer it until your all test fitted out and ready to paint, then final assemble and install etc.
But that's just my experience, opinions and skills vary.
