Oh with regard to the time, I think it took me about 4-5 full days of rubbing down, unbolting bits, filling, sanding, and priming the bare metal areas, to get it ready for painting.
The painting stage took about 3 days. I began painting one evening and it took about 2-3 hours to do one whole coat. I then went back the next morning and gave it another coat. Did the same that evening. Then on the evening of the third day, I gave it another full coat, and on the fourth day I believe I started to rebuild the car. (It was roughly along those lines anyway).
I painted inside, in a fairly dusty garage. Before painting, I tidied and swept the concrete floor as much as possible, to get rid of some of the loose dust on the floor. I also stapled plastic sheeting above head to the wooden beams, so that any slithers or chips of wood and dust didn't fall into the paintwork while it was drying.
From start to finish, it probably took about 2 weeks at most, but I have read of people doing it over a weekend.
