Default How many days....

So I'm heading to the body shop tomorrow morning as soon as they open to put my car in and get the exterior mods completely done. I want to:

1). get my Saleen bumper/grill prepped and painted
2). Paint the mirrors
3) Take out the antenna and have it painted over
4). Take the Satelliate antena off my trunk and have that painted over (since I dont use it anymore, why keep it, right?)

How many days am I looking at here? Think it could possibly be done by Friday? I remember when my sisters Dodge Startus got the front bumper destroyed, it took them two days to get a new one shipped in, painted and installed.....think it could be done in two days, but there is still more work ya know?

Can you call them, explain the workand get a time estimate?

Just FYI - they may tell you it can be done by a certain day/time but then when you go to pick it up or call they may tell you it is not ready. This happened to me with another car - They told me it would be 3 days (I guess to get my business) but it took them over a week - dropped it off on Wednesday - got it back next Thursday. I was kind of upset but I told them not to rush and just do a good job. It was just to repair two small scratches on the hood and front fender from hurricane damage but they had to repaint the parts they told me. Figure on about a week (not counting weekend) unless they are very reliable and quick.

Good luck - I hope you post pics when it's done!
