What kind of equipment do you have?
Gun?
Compressor? Air lines?
Do you have a good filter/regulator?
Breathing mask?
If you take your time and do a good job blocking the original paint you can probably get away with one or two primer coats. If there isn't a lot of body work and you are staying original color you could probably skip the primer altogether.
What kind of paint are you using? BC/CC or a single stage enamel or?
BC/CC is your best bet.
Get yourself a 3M soft pad and a variety of sanding discs. It goes on your D/A. This will save you a ton of work block sanding. I can have a complete car or truck ready to spray in less then a day. You still need to do tight areas and corners by hand but it takes the flat panel sanding time down to a couple of hours at most. It works dry so you don't have to dry the entire vehicle off after wet sanding and you don't have to worry about water blowing into your paint as you spray...
The cleaner you keep the the spray environment the less crap you'll have in your paint.
