Ill try and give you a little help here. I beleive the switch motors you are talking about are the ones that lay next to the switch, and are long and thin? Well these should be paint proof. Alteast all of the plastic. If there is any exposed metal, they might be paint sensitive. As a precaution put a light greese on all metal areas of the switches befor you paint. With greese applied you can paint everything and let dry. The paint will stick to the greese and when you wipe away the greese, the metal under the greese will be paint free. Also you might want to protect the contact points in the switch rails from paint. These points are electrical connections. ( don't use greese here though, use tape or a peice of scrap roadbed)
