But if you removed the front clip, you could get to the engine with a pressure washer and clean it, and probably paint it right there fastened to the truck. Maybe not a show quality paint job, but a decent one at least if you are careful.

You could clean the inside of the fenders and such while they are off the truck as well and could paint them at that time.
I've seen quite a few people remove the front clip in build reports. It must be a lot easier on these rigs than some other vehicles I've owned? As heavy as these V6s are and as high as they need to be lifted I will certainly look into this option myself.
