5 days gets you 40 hours of labor.
IMO 40 hours isn't enough labor to produce a satisfactory paint job and would likely be cutting a lot of corners. The time and money you think you'll save will be eaten up by the painter trying to straighten it out so he can stand behind his paint job.
If you're going to pay $50/hr, why not hire someone with a facility to work in and you can find next year when you need him again?
I'm not being a smart ass or critical, I'm just telling you what my experience has been when I tried to do the same thing and expected a quality paint job.

Not everyone needs a show paint..
Fact , most that fall for this need to spend 10K + for paint don't dare drive it after it's painted..
If we ever have a time machine many will have a heart attack when they see what the factory paint was like.. and gaps..
Nothing against those that want a perfect gaps and paint..
but most don't need it..
And a basic clean straight paint is just fine.. no need to spend 30 hours on welding and grinding gaps..
These are trucks not a 100k cuda..
