Anything that can’t be removed gets protected. That means removing any components that shouldn’t be touched by the paint. It’s a minimum of a week, because each layer of paint is applied in stages, and you have to give the workshop doing the job time to prep the vehicle too. You could be without your vehicle between one and three weeks. How long should a professional respray take? Paint shops tend to have dedicated spray booths to minimise contamination, both on humans from the paint and from dust particles on the paint job. There’s the other matter of the toxic chemicals used too.
Three of the most common mistakes amateurs make is to use the wrong sandpaper, not wash the area before apply new paint layers and not colour-matching accurately enough. If you leave it botched, you may devalue the vehicle you were trying to improve.
If you botch it, you might end up paying a professional to correct any mistakes, which will likely prove more costly. Getting a really consistent and flawless finish comes with experience. While in the short-term, it may seem like the cheaper option, in truth, it can prove more expensive. There’s nothing stopping you from respraying your own car, but we’d advise against it.
