Likely to cost more than the car is worth tbh.

i agree with albs, wouldn't bother mate 

however if youre insistent there is a great place in northampton...... brackmills body shop. not too far from you but you'd need to get back as it will be kept over a couple of days

couple of days      last time I painted a small car, it took 53 days without roof    I'm not sure I do exeggerate or other painters make a shortcut

Sort of agree with Webby and Al,but it depends on how much you love your car I suppose,it's a pity that you don't live down my way as I know a guy who will do a good respray for a £1000.00 solid colours or metallic, cash only of course but he is in Chertsey, Surrey which is a bit to far from you but he has done two of mine and was going to do the third but I'm selling them now instead.

if you calculate proper drying period for all different layers like primer, base coat ,final coat you need at least/minimum 12 days in hot weather ..    and I neglect the time for disassembling, sanding phases, polishing and assembling phases..
 
of course if old paint sanded lightly and paint applied over it (and you dont remove any part) 7-8 days  may be enough.
 
but must say complete paint here takes 25 to 30 days in avg for most shops here..
