There are BL service times, although I'm away from home at the moment so can't check the figure.

However, these are for experienced BL mechanics and so are not really redlevant to someone inexperienced in the car.

My stab in the dark at a figure for someone who's not done it before would be 6 or 7 hours to remove and refit. However it is relatively easy to remove the items from the inner wings, with the engine still in place, to repaint them.

Cheers

Hi

I put the idea of respraying without engine removal and they now think that is the best solution remove ancillary items and use a touch up gun
again many thanks for all the input.

If you look back through Dave's (DJT) restoration I think he did that and it came out very nicely

Correct. The manifolds and intermediate steering shaft get in the way a bit, but unless you are going for concourse it is 'do-able'.
