I would just wait, if you get paint in them, then it might make it tricky to get the crush tube in there...?

Definitely wait, you need to paint the ends of the plates otherwise the rust will get in and lift the paint off the tube. There is quite a lot of play in the bushes and will squeeze in no problem.
