What year bed? Does the front panel unbolt?

This is a great question. Not an easy one to answer. Painting can be hard.

If you are using a paint with any sort of perl or metallic flakes in it you want to paint it as if it is on the truck so you don't get mismatch between the bed and the body (at least the outside). This does not make it easy to get the inside. If you want to avoid overspray and make it easier pick a place to mask either most of the inside or outside where the line won't show.
