I have found it advisable to chase the threads anyway, even when not
painting; so my advice is paint & tap.

But I use an old, rather worn tap ... which got that way chasing TR3 caged
nuts <G>  Being somewhat lazy, in most cases I use an air ratchet to drive
the tap in & out.

Some anti-seize on the bolt threads will make future disassembly much
easier, too.
