Maybe if you and your wife agree on the same color for both of your cars, problem solved, no worry about over-spray.....
On the serious side, I have NEVER even considered doing this. However I did a "rattle can" paint job on my 56 Chevy, back in 1968.

It looks like I am going to do the paint work myself along with the help of my brother-N-law and the use of his shop.

Meanwhile I have attached a short video of my ole vette doing it's thing after sitting 15 years in the garage. My 22 yr. old son done the honors. (hope this works)
