Default Best way to organize wires while prepping engine bay

Have my motor out and am fixing some spots in bay (inner fender well, shock tower holes). Planning on blasting and repainting bay when done. For the wires off the motor I tagged them at the end with what they are for but have wires running all over the bay still. Need to get them out of the way for blast and paint. Any suggestions?

No too much non stock - basically what I added (hood tach, pillar gauges (water, electric), upgraded relay for headlightsand amp. I do plan on changing headlight harness - but that is the extent of rewire.

Wrap in heavy tin foil with tape over that.

we usually just take it ALL off the walls and bring it to the center and ties them together. Do the sides, then lift over the cowl when it's time to do the firewall.
