    I think for painting it might be a lot of trouble removing your glass and all the parts. Could maybe do a good masking job and paint it as it sits in the car? Get some masking tape, get some $2 platic paint tarps and spread it all over the top and bottom and sides of the car. Sand it down with 3M brillo pads, take a good cleaner to it, use some tack cloth and spray it with your choice of paint.
