Just sticking with the same red. He is painting most of the car. Bumper, sides, hood, doors,rear bumper. Not sure of the price but he is not cheap by any means. Car should be done in two but im going on holidays for a week so i told him he can have in for three.

2-3 weeks is normal for high end body shops that are busy. It takes more time to fit things properly it would be alot quicker if they just paint them and bolt them on like most shops but Joeys is a very high end custom shop that does sick work. I can't wait to see it when its done with the paint and wheels.

When are you going to NYC? Just wondering if your gone while i am putting my engine in?

Think it'll be done before your vacation? Not that you want it rushed whatsoever, hopefully the shop is taking the time to do it just right.
