Just an update for those reading,
Went to see the car yesterday and they are almost done. The painter has taken a special interest in my car and has primed it and sanded it almost 5 times making sure it is perfect.
The owner of the shop has told me that it is going to look like a 10 thousand dollar paint job. I am sure that at this point he has lost money on the deal, but he is happy because it has brought him more classic cars to paint.
The car should be back home in about two more weeks if all goes well, but I am not pressuring him to finish because it looks great right now.
