Nothing wrong with accumulating the parts, but I fear you won't be happy with the incomplete coverage you'll get outside if you are masking off everything inside. Just my $0.02....

The inside is one of the things that my paint guy is going to go ahead and paint. Most of the inside will get covered with carpet, dash, door panels, seats and kick panels so we're going to go ahead and paint that. This way we can go ahead and buy those pieces and get them installed while we finish the motor.

He's also going to paint the bottom of the hood, firewall and inner fender wells, behind the cab and front of the bed. Basically any adjoining surfaces or otherwise concealed after assembly. But..thanks for the tips.
