I'm replying to this on the net because I think it's of general interest.  
There have been several excellent posts on this subject and if you search on 
"rolling and tipping", you will learn something about it.  There is 
apparently a perfectly good technique available for hand application of 
paint, proven in the boating world.  I don't think you need to remove the 
parts for painting, but I do believe it helps to have the surfaces laying 
flat because the technique relies on the liquid paint "flowing" to smooth it 
out and that's not usually possible on a vertical surface without risk of 
runs.  However... I have not tried "rolling and tipping" myself so I don't 
know for sure.
