1.5-2 hrs per side
Coincidently, I did mine this weekend, and it took approx 1.5 hours per side from start to finish. The trims come off fairly easily - on the outside of the window is a little flap of foam which is tucked under the corner trim, this just folds out to reveal the single screw holding the trim in place.
Undo the screw the slide the trim down a cm or two, then lift the leading edge a bit and slide down again to get it out.
I left the car unused while i stripped and repainted and just left the frame unattached in the door.
