Disassemble EVERYTHING. Worst that could happen is you miss a spot and you now have to repaint it in more layers because you didn't get it the first time since one part or another blocked the flow of paint.

My advice is to wait until April. Cold weather makes it so that the paint doesn't set properly. I had contaminated paint on one of my old px4 frames when I painted it in the winter with spray paint and I got a sticky residue. Had to clean it off with oven cleaner 4 times before I could get a non-sticky finish that didn't absorb oils because it couldn't cure properly due to the weather.

Edit: I'm no expert by any means... And by that I mean I ignored the label on the spray bottle. there is a good guideline for operating temperatures on the spray bottle advertising storage temps.

I think if you paint it in the cold the propellant and the paint chemicals do not bond properly and that results in improper curing when there is not enough heat to complete the chemical process.
