What are the benefits to painting them seperately?
My question is: are most people painting their control surfaces seperately
so the paint will be evenly distributed into the recesses or is simply
moving the control surface up and down enough to get the paint in there?

The flaps and ailerons will come out better painted separately and
they're easy to remove. The tanks could be painted either way but
you'll have to be REALLY careful if you paint them off the plane because
when you torque down the screws you're likely to crack the paint in
the dimple. Painting over the screws eliminates that, but you may
crack the paint IF, and that's a big if, you end up removing the
tanks. I figure with luck, you'll be removing the tanks about the
same time 15 years from now that you want a new paint job.

In the case of Glo Customs method, they remove all the control surfaces before painting and then paint each seperately.

Paint them apart, and if stripes transition the gap make sure you check
for conformity.
