Depends on who does it and the prepwork involved. Could take a couple of days, maybe a week. Can you be a little more specific. Bodywork? Solid paint?

Figure 1-2 days prep (sanding, masking, etc), 1-2 days painting and curing and 1-2 days for wetsanding and buffing. Add a day or two for disassembly/reassembly if stuff needs to be taken off (bumpers, moldings, etc).

depends on what kind of paint job you want. if you want an external layer kinda job, just a couple days. if you want all your door jambs and floors and underhood and everything, you lookin at a month or two, unless you strip it all yourself and tow a rolling chassis to them
