You guys all make very valid points. I was searching for someone in my area to paint my el camino and could never get a solid answer. I got its going to be "filler work" or not interested. I finally found someone and he quoted a time and never followed through. In the end it took almost 3 years for him to do a paint complete paint job on a car that was apart and stripped, and no collision repair. I watched alot of other cars come after me and leave with paint before me. The final product was great, but the wait was a pain.
My chevelle is at a different shop about 6 hours from me, the owner listens and interacts with me with phone and email updates and wants my input as well.
here is a photo of the el camino I finished in july, and I will start a thread on my chevelle soon.
