It took me and my teammate about the whole weekend. So 8 hours a day x2 of us, probably 32 hours.
For the paint, we used a quart of decent single-stage acyrlic enamel

That was $60 and we used this for the white

$25 and a quart of this in clear $25
and some primer we had paying around
So $110 in paint + masking tape, paper, mixing sticks/strainers, etc
If you buy some cheap primer, figure $150 for everything
But most of the paintjob is about the prep, so if you want it to look good, figure at least spending three times that amount of time in sanding and fixing dents and cleaning.
Plus I shot it outside and there's tons of bugs and dirt in the paint. You'll want to rent a paint booth or build your own.
