You do the air dry cerakote for optics. I spray painted my nightforce when it was on my old rifle then removed it before I installed it on my new one.

I don't care much for painted actions due to it can cause some problems with the function, the paint can degrade a little after cleaning and working the bolt, moving parts etc. Had to tear a couple of friends down and clean the crap off because they didn't have the tools to take down the bolt, after it gummed up the bolt
Scopes are usually cerakoted with air cured.
As far as taking the barreled action out of the stock, just make sure you torque it back in with a inch pound torque wrench, then make sure it's sighted in, can change your POI when you first put it back in stock.

Cerakote's air cure version is for optics and other things that can't be baked in an oven.
Gonna paint the new AR with black header paint.
Okay, there is an air cure cerakote which is designed specifically for your (scope) application. The biggest issues with cerakoting an assembled gun is consistent coating, sand binding up in the internals, and binding on friction surfaces. All that said, the barrel and receiver would not necessarily have to dis-assembled to get a good bake on finish.
Rattle can the rifle and wrap the scope. This is the stuff you want to use to wrap the scope, and you can find it in the horse/med section of any Tractor Supply. You can get it soaking wet, and it will stay on, and when you remove it there is 0 residue.
Oh, and for what its worth tearing the rifle down to ceracoke shouldn't mess with the accuracy. High end customs get built, test fitted, and then torn down (sometimes several times) before final assembly. It will certainly require you to have to zero it again, but the accuracy should still be there.
