i do a lot of warwheels and trucks and RR stuff so i have this issue every build. unless you roll it in a ditch most of it won't be seen but we're modelers so.....
usually if it is an open frame you can prime and paint from top and bottom and be ok. maybe do the differentials and engines separately. if it is a solid hull like a modern 8x8, get as much on as possible attached primed and painted before other stuff like differentials and drive shafts. prime and paint them separately, attach and a final base color coat. and, if all else fails, MUD is your friend.
