My first paint job was done with the body off the car. Not a good paint job,but I put the car together and drove it. After a year I removed the windshield, trim, etc. and had the car repainted. If the painter does not cover everything under the hood, under the car and the interior you will have over spray on everything. It's very hard to clean every part on your car. It's best if you car is on stands or raised so the painter can see the bottom edges of the body. Most painters miss the bottom edges of the side louvers, brake duct etc. The easy way to paint a Cobra is body off frame, but you can paint an assembied car. It's just a little more work, paper and tape. Dwight
