Painting is easy and not really time consuming, it's the prep that killed me. Both of my mids were cracked, so I had to fix them, and then bondo, sand, bondo, sand. My front end had couple of cracks so same thing. Those things took the most time. Then I primered everything, let it dry, and then put a base Ford Azul Blue on it ( 3 coats), and 2 coats of clear. Since I had to work, and couldn't do anything on rainy days ( too much humidity), took me about 5 days or so.

I can probably fix the damage and repaint it all in one day. I'd have to wait for the bondo to dry, probably at least 2-3 hours, and for the primer to dry for another 2 hours. 10 mins between base coats and 10 min between clear coats.
