The insidey bit is pretty easy, four torx screws to remove the seat back, seat base just unclips, three screws and various clips per side for the quater panels, boot trims, etc. After that it is little more than just using an aerosol.
The outside is much more daunting, you would nonetheless be well advised getting it done. I know PumaSpeed were offering a service, but any local bodyshop or workshop would probably consider it, again, it isn't difficult, just a bit time consuming for the stripdown and rebuild (spare wheel, fuel tank, wheel arch liners, exhaust, heat shields).
If you are just after a single coat type treatment, I would expect a cost of around £200 for the underside, plus £150 for under the arches, just a guess, but I wouldn't expect it to be any more than that.
I am planning on doing the underside of mine all in one go, on a 2 post lift at my parents garage, with a couple of technicians to advise / assist when I can't put something back. I won't just be using a 1 coat treatment though, rather using Dymax-S80 (cavities), Dymax UB and Hydrate 80, along with some black paint in the middle, a job like that would be quite time consuming, so to pay someone to do it would probably be much more expensive.
