As a general rule of thumb, 40 hours to prep, 8-12 hours to paint the exterior of the vehicle (this rule of thumb does not include interior doors, inner rockers or lock pillars).
This does not include the paint and materials and unforeseen dings, prior repairs, rust and new trim pieces.
It would be best to remove all the windows, rubber seals, trim and get a complete repaint job. Replace these items once the painting is completed (you would be surprised how bad old rubber trim looks on fresh paint). It all depends on how much you want to pay or how good you want your vehicle too look when your project is done.
The bottom line; prep is the key. How rough and overall condition of the exterior will determine the prep cost. The time to paint quoted is normal when painting smaller 2 door vehicles.
