There is no main issue with spreading the job over several weekends, just keep in mind that you will need to clean and prep the surface before you ppf. ie. if you clean and claybar the bonnet one weekend but decided to actually ppf it the next, well you will have to do it all over again. Plus the time waist of removing door handles/etc.

If you are only committing just the two days, that may not be enough times for some panels edge to fully dry to allow edge wrap around.

The very first panel you do will be nerve wracking and will take the most amount of time. My advice is do the smallest and flattest panel you can. The gas cap will be fun, but wrapping those edges will be a pita.
