If it was me, I would prep and tape off the outlines and detail on both, then remove the hood. Tape off the cowl with 18" paper over some plastic sheeting covering everything else. You are shooting such a small area, the overspray will be minimal. That also gives you a place to make sure the hood goes back as it came off. Your back will thank you as well, because if you want you can shoot the hood vertical.
