Spraying it in the car would suck. Just unbolt the seat belt and tensioner, remove it from the car with that little plastic guide hole thing (i believe this is the bezel you're referring to) attached, then paint it. Same idea for the front.
FYI, if you do this, your seat belt may retract into the tensioner and seem to get stuck. It isn't really, the tensioner just needs to be at the proper angle to allow the belt to be pulled out. When you bolt the tensioner back in the car it'll work fine. If you don't want to worry about this, however, just wrap some tape around the tensioner so that the belt won't retract. Remove the tape after you reinstall everything.
Painting it by hand is another option if you don't want to have to deal with all of this. Its a small piece so you won't notice the brush strokes anyway.
