I did a 4 (3.5 from street level) story apartment building, including scraping the paint. I rented a 48 foot ladder. I secured the ladder through an open window.

I wanted to use a man lift but it would not fit with the front stairs. Since the building was brick, I had to scrape every inch of the place with a special pain scraper. I would be fine with doing it again. You just don't look down, just straight ahead.

For the painting, I used a battery operated pressure paint roller with a 1/2 gallon tank. It was a manual system, you switched on the paint when needed, and off when you didn't.
