Quick question guys!
I have never had a car repainted so have no clue how long the process takes. Let us assume that ALL body work is done (primered etc.), bumpers, etc removed. How long should a decent paint job take from delivery to pick-up assuming they start on it on the day it is delivered?? (yes, I realize this might not be reality) Thanks!

One thing I see all the time is an owner that has prepped a car with the wrong primers, as in cheap FLAPS crap OR they have done such a poor job that no respectable shop will touch it.
They get all pissy when you tell them that it has to be all striped off and done right. Then they go and get a buddy to paint it for a box of beer and it looks like shit. A professional job (or a well done home prep) will take time and money. |
