I did the same as Merv even to the fitting of the carpet. Then I took it all out, even the seats and shifter lever and had the paint done. That way there was no chance of over spray or paint dust settling on the upholstery. Once the paint was done I put the carpet down with insulation under it, mounted the seats, and put the roll bar back carefully and didn't have a scratch or chip in the paint.

But I have seen people do it the other way and wrap the interior and roll bar with Saran Wrap. That saves the remounting of everything but I still feel the saran wrap can get a hole in it or be moved by someone and then you have the over spray. Also with the seats and everything out, the painter can do a better job on the back and front edges of the body. He even ran my stripes around the curve and painted them about 1" back under the lips.
