How to paint a transformer like object?

I am modeling machines which have layers that break away when destroyed: the outermost layer, the inner guts and the skeleton.

When smart painting this objects, Ambient Occlusion bakes the entire thing so the inner guts are completely black, occluded by the outermost layer. I tried to hide groups of objects but constantly smart paint asks to re bake AO even when I'm painting already baked objects.

What's the workflow?

I will tell you what i do in those situation.

I "explode" the parts , paint them so they get the AO correctly and then get them back in the editor / modelling software.

Attaching a link to show you what i mean by explode.
