Sure glad to see your car isn't having the "paint jail" history that mine had:
* Shop 1 - agreed to do complete body and paint on my '69 Dart. Just before SoCal switched to water-base paint requirement several years ago the shop suggested they purchase the "good stuff" while they still could. I paid for the "good stuff" paint. When I went to make final arrangements to take my car in to start body/paint, I discovered the shop was closed and my paint disappeared with them.
* Shop 2 - Moved out of state just before I was ready to take my car in. No money lost this time.
* Shop 3 - Had my Dart for just over 1 year and had done about 50% of the bodywork - all the time giving me stretched-out final completion dates. Then refused to give me any completion dates. I'd been seeing other cars go in and get finished while mine just sat. I showed up unannounced with a trailer to collect my car and had to bring in the local PD to convince them to turn my car loose. He closed up shop and went out of business about 3 weeks later.
* Shop 4 - Had my Dart for a year and fixed the errors he found from the bodywork done by Shop 3. Then told me he wasn't going to finish my Dart because all of his collision work was much more profitable.
* Shop 5 - Thanks to one of the members here on FABO, I found the current shop who is doing an absolutely outstanding job. He's fixed all the errors from previous shops and communicates without me having to beg and plead for info. My Dart has been there about 10 months and should be completely done shortly after the first of the year. This guy works a full-time job outside of his body and paint work that he does at his home shop.
