Yeah I would love to do any work in this field! I will ask if they need any help once they finish my car....

So this is what happened:

I dropped it off.. helped a little then they said they could do the rest...
Prime the areas that needed it, fix anything that I missed, etc.

So I get a call today saying the body is done and the car is ready to pick up! I WAS SO HAPPY! I get to the shop it looks great from a distance and then as I get up close i wanted to cry. They never primed the areas they said they would and it shows... shows a ton in the final paint. This weekend I am going back and asking them to do it right and prime the front of the hood and sides. Then spray over it. I am sure they will understand they said they felt bad and rushed it and will fix it so its all good. Here is what she looks like until saturday.

sorry for my terrible english and rambling... really tired.

Quick snap shots:

Yeah it is on my list of things Then it will be completely emblem-less. Yes side skirts in the future, when I get some $$. The lights are already painted matte black like the car. And the slam would be a grip of $$. I wish
