I forgot to mention step one would be to remove the hood before paint stripping, which is only two bolts....and I like to keep paint stripper away from the edges, so it doesn't get underneath the lips(more time involved to refinish those areas). The edges I just sand the paint off with 80 grit on the DA.
Refinish time for a hood is only 3 hours book time, but that's for one with decent paint that just needs scuffed with a scotchbrite pad, masked off, then resprayed. If there is something weird with the topcoats that are on the car, then they need to be stripped off before painting. Also add time for fixing dings and dents. Think of it at a house, where the rest of the house is only as good as the foundation. Stripping the bad paint off can be time consuming, but only by 3 or 4 hours, depending on the method used.
