  Hmm.  I suppose, the question being about painting, it
would have to be the surface...

Of course, I phrased the question poorly, since there is no specific radii at
which you can say you are firmly on the "surface" but a search via Google (1)
seems to indicate somewhere in the 5500-6000 C range as the accepted value mid
photosphere....

How many men (2) it would take to paint it(3) is left as an exercise for the
reader.

I don't know how long it would take, but I have it on reasonably good authority
that Earl Scheib will paint that star for $29.95.
