I suppose if you can afford a house like this you can afford a really nice new car every so often. A really nice car. Because a full scraping, sanding, and repair plus 2-3 color paint can cost over $100,000.
My brother legit did this to repair his old farm house that he shouldn’t have bought. Tools and supplies are tax write offs, the company always operates at a loss, but he is basically a decent carpenter and worked through college and highschool summers as one.
Also don’t buy an ancient house unless you have the funds to build another house in it.

Or … you just develop a hobby of house painting…
You could start a small business just to paint and maintain your own estate.
