Default Questioin for those with painted front lips

So I finally got my Mugen style front lip the other day,so when I got home with it I wanted to see how it would fit.My OEM front bumper isn't on the car just yet so I put the lip on the bumper and noticed that it's a really tight fit in the grooves in the front of the bumper.I plan on getting the lip and the bumper painted this week (finally taking off the fiberglass ****),so should I get those pieces painted completely separate or should I have it painted while the lip is on the bumper?

I guess the thing that I worry about is that after a couple of coats of paint and clear coat,then it's gonna be really hard for me to try to put that front lip on again because like I said,it's already a tight fit right now unpainted.

"style" lips are always going to be off. if you say it's hard to be put back on then i recommened you having it on securely then finish it off by painting the front bumper and lip. good luck
