i don't think you need to take the roof off
just fold it into the middle just like when you are putting the roof down, then mask it
you should then be able to paint all areas :D :D
will be back in an E30 oneday soon !

Is it manual or electric....if its manual no probs just undo the screws at each side and make a note of how many (if any shims) are there,

The electric ones need a little more care ..same thing but take off the rods that raise and lower it and make sure the switch is NOT touched so the motors do not move..it will all go back as it should without problems..
