I would remove the seat bracket & battery box & have that cleaned up & pre-painted like you fenders & sheet metal. Clean the tranny top cover & pre paint below where the battery box & hydraulic lines are. Remove the steering wheel to prevent any damage, other wise I would say you have pretty much done everthing else.
Taking the fast hitch apart to paint I beleive would be un-necessary, I used a 4 in angle grinder with wire brushes to clean mine up on my 300 & I was very happy with the results. May become too time-consuming to finish in time, lots of parts there.
