Ok so went for a visit to the paint shop. Car is at least shiny now. He has some work to do on buffing still on the front fenders and hood but the doors, and small bits are done as best I can see. He had missed a piece to paint as you can see in some of the photos (front valence - where the running lights go...) So that will get body worked/painted this week. I suspect it to be another 3-4 weeks before it's completed.
Anyway, new pics:
When I showed up to see the car this is how it sat (you can see the valence being used to hold the plastic down...
See valence with no work done on it
Bits and pieces either completed or waiting for buffing.
More bits
Grille unpainted.
Bumpers look pretty good...Shame the rear bumper wasn't supposed to be painted
The car is VERY shiney. Happy with the reflection the color puts off.
That's all I got for now. There are a few issues with the car, and he says he will resolve them. They will be before I pay for the car for sure.
