Do many shops mask off the wheelwells and frame to keep the overspray off?

I know our shop does
That's not even a Real Spray Booth
In a better / cleaner shop the wheel wells, frame, underside, jambs would be masked off to protect them from over spray + protect the new work from being contaminated... The tail light pocket should have been edged with the rest of the truck & been masked off along with any openings..... cowls, wheel wells, joints all bring in dirt to the paint environment.
Bring a dirty vehicle into a surgical clean booth and the paint job will acquire dirt etc + the clean booth gets contaminated
It comes down to money, cheap money gets cheap results
