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!

My buddy paul's '75 911 Carrera rust free (really) was in the shop for 13 months.
He got fiberglass front flares, steel rear flares, oil cooler, fg bumpers, actual IROC tail, dash was died, RSR interior installed, 17" HRE wheels (took 3 times to get them right). It's a beautiful car and I think well worth the effort. TRE was the driving force in this car. (IMG:http://www.seanlee.tv/images/pauliroc.jpg) |
