My question is.....since this bow is "s" shaped and and has no holes to hang it for painting, what is the best way to secure this bow while painting so that I get complete coverage with the paint?

Drill small holes at each end of the bow, in the edge that is covered by the panel/head-liner.
Them, hang the bow using wire.
