So far I have tried to do as much of the build as possible but I dont want to spend a weekend doing something that a painter could do in an hour or turn up with sub-standard preparation.
Do the guys who have done their own prep consider it worthwhile and what proportion of the painting cost is prep?

I Picked up the bit about spending a weekend doing something that a painter could do in an hour......It's more like the other way around...A good painter will spend ages doing proper preparation. If he does it in quick time he's taking shortcuts. Be aware that preparation is 90% of a good paint job and it takes time for paint to cure etc. even 2-pack.
Good Luck. Smithy
