Tips for masking threaded holes? (for internal case painting)

I tried to search for answers to this but found nothing, so here's another plasti dip based thread.  

 

So I've been planning to plasti dip the interior of my TJ-07 for a while now, but I'm concerned about filling up the threaded holes that are anywhere and everywhere in the case.  

Is there an effective way to mask or fill threaded holes before painting that can be easily removed post-painting?

The only thing I've come up with is to install all the screws prior to painting, and paint everything together.  Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Playdoh... I honestly thing putting the screws in and then painting would be the easiest method. You can spray the holes with plastidip and just scrape it out with a toothpick or something. Or stick the screw in. All of those work.

I fill them up with balls of tape.

Depending on the size of the threaded holes, the easiest to to use some scrap screws and paint over them and get rid of them after, the other best way for small holes are to cut down round toothpicks as plugs like motherboard standoff points.
