[QUOTE="DKS2814V, post: 14213497, member: 27079"] Paint took roughly 2 years: Body ended up being in pretty rough shape. Rust, and major amounts of repairs...and it cost me 3x the amount originally estimated. Two body shops wouldn't even touch the car because they didn't understand the body lines. Body guy and paint guy absolutely killed it. Smoothed out all the holes, and ensured it's ready for shows. I didn't particularly care for a show-car paint job, as it's going to get tracked, but it turned out really nice....painter assumed that 2yrs after I receive it, he'll come back and smooth everything out and correct all the paint due to damages from assembly.
