Default thoughts on painting the engine bay...

so heres the idea, i need some body work done, looking into getting the password jdm front fenders and a new bumper... pulling some dents out of the roof right above the sun visors... so there will be a need to paint... also looking to swap the motor... so my thought is to have the engine bay sprayed while the motor is out. the car is white and will be sprayed white again, however i dont want to pull out every last clip and line and whatnot out of the bay (1. time and 2. i dont want to break anything...) ... is it possible if i just take the time to tape well since it will still be the same color, just a cleaner coat... or is it just gonna look like crap even worse? your thoughts...

Like ****,Overspray will be on most your clips.Do it right and take your time taking off the clips I only had to replace two and those are the brake line ones.No way to save them.
