The head is not painted because it hinders heat dissipation. The head being alloy and the block steel would cause problems when the two heat up (different coefficients of expansion). In general you want the head to run a little cooler.
One thing I don't like in the rebuild pictorial is the way thet just throw in new crankshaft bearings. You really should measure the crank to yournal clearance first and then order bearings to suit...
Just throwing in a TRD headgasket after resurfacing the block and head is also a recipy for disaster. Just measure the cylinder to deck clearance and make sure that the total clearance inc the headgasket is around 0.9 to 1mm. (sometimes called the squish or quench clearance).
