ive done it twice to mine. its very do-able with hthe motor in the car if you arent doing a color change. throw a sheet over the motor, and wrap the wires and everything else in tape or tin foil. be sure to have the entire car covered up too, overspray will find its way to paint if its not covered.
i did this in my driveway...
i fillled in my holes with fiberglass filler (the kitty hair stuff), sanded that down, and then went over that with metal glaze. sanded it down level, primed, and painted with a single stage paint from a gun.
