I think I would do all of that after paint. Well, could do the exhaust, but I would prefer not to get overspray on it.

Unless you need to mock up something (brackets or what-not), I would wait until after the paint. Gotta hate that overspray.

I would fit the interior.Then remove it for paint.That way you don't scratch the new paint while making it fit.
