This will come down to how much patience you have. I did mine from scratch including dollying out many dings and sanding out scrapes. It took me about three months to complete as whenever I got frustrated with it I put it down for a day and then went back at it. I'm very happy with the results though.
Extra strength Easy Off Oven cleaner will remove the anodized finish, just be sure to rinse the parts well after using it as it will eat the aluminum parts if left for too long.
