It's not that tough if the rest the car is still unfinished. I painted mine in place by just using a good wide tip on the spray gun and letting it work around the tight places. Once it was painted I let it dry for several days, then I wrapped it all in butcher paper and taped it in place to protect it from scratches until the rest the car was done. Assembled the interior and finally pulled the paper off when complete.
