Dunno bout the painwork, But I did my cambelt change today.

Read the how2's, buy a VX kit (make sure it comes with the markings on it - mine didn't) do the water pump at the same time.
Hire the proper locking kit
And buy the dvd from the shop. worth every penny
save yourself probably a couple of hundred quid???
