Rookie Mistake...

Your car could get lost in a shuffle or a quick bankruptcy and be gone forever , re-title under different vin , anything could happen, I may not be a great painter but do all my work when building my projects , from engine work to body an paint an interior ,other than some machine work , its all me just to not to take the chance to get screwed over as you are being done , these days a good shop is almost an impossibility , you should have picked up your car months ago
