its all about the prep work, and when you're having a shop do it, they have other cars to work on as well, so it could take 6 months like mine did

Lets see some pictures when you get her back.

Whenever I eventually get mine ready to paint I am def. going to try and find a shop that can get to it fairly quickly. I dont think I could wait 6 months to a year +..... that would drive me crazy But I am sure that a lot of you didnt think it would take that long either.

depending on the shop i know a lot of places that they guys will go in on a national holiday becuase they would rather trade off taking the following friday off or something similar.
