Overspray is almost unavoidable under the car, frame and some of the suspension parts, lines etc. Engine compartment also.

Most downdraft booths will suck it all in under the car, and make a mess.

If you CAN, I recommend painting it first, and then installing major components.

I suppose if you can help seal the undercarriage, the engine compartment you may be able to get by with minimal overspray..

We did NOT do a very good job during the painting of my ERA. I was trying to clean clear coat of the frame well in to my months of ownership of that car.
I would be very carefull nexy time, but I am not sure it can ever be 100%.

The color you are painting also will make it stand out more. Yellow, green red overspray is a lot easier to detect than black and silver.
