All depends, I personally take the whole thing apart and do it if I want a good job, a quick job i'd leave it together.

After assembly, then you don't risk messing up the fresh paint with tool marks plus you don't have much masking to prevent paint from getting into unwanted places.

I cant find anyone locally who stocks the OMC Paint, is the the RustOleum or DupliColor ok on the powerhead?

I found these guys on the web, they paint outboards in miami. I took my motor to them to paint it, but I think you can call them and they will sell you the paint they would use for your outboard. I love the job they did with my motor. Looks brand new again! I copied the website link below, Hope this helps.
