ive buiold a few of these things.....the easiest way i have found is to leave the frame halves on the "tree" and paint it using your method, when it's dry, i ut the frames off the "tree" using a small pair of flat-side cutters designed for surface mount soldering. then i touch up the spots that need it with a small brush.....if you want to see my stuff look through the bike section.....adam

you can do that, BUT, you have to cut out the shaft on the triple trees and make a removable one......

I also prefer to leave them on the trees then do some touch ups after. Most of the attached to tree spots will be covered with other parts, but in my opinion leaving the frame on the tree is much easier and cleaner in the end result.
