Off and on for 23 years.

I took a autobody course at a Jr. College right after I bought
it and it was my project. My first paint job. The instructor
wanted to buy it. He said that it had every defect known
to painting and then some. It had runs, sags, fisheyes,
dry spots, metallic pooling, etc. I did do a good job of
masking though. Wet sanded it out and tried again and
it was ok.

Looks like I've got the least time spent on it, so far... 1 month today. I have a long way to go...
I'm honestly looking forward to it.
