Good luck on your project bud. Welcome to the boards!
So there has been some major painter drama that has been delaying the return of my car. It figures that nothing can ever go as planned. I'm not going to get into all the details, but to make a long story short one of my painters of the father/son duo doing my car left the shop due to some differences with the owner of the shop. The owner of the shop apparently became real prick and didn't want the son working on my car during normal hours. He wanted him to work on collision stuff, and could only buff my car out after hours. Complete BS. The car will be done and ready for me this weekend. He just has to hit the car with glaze and it's finished and I'll have it back in my garage.
The father is at a new shop now not far from me. The owner is actually an old friend of his. They have a spare booth that they don't use very often so he is letting my painter use that booth for all the restoration projects he will be doing, including the rest of my car. I honestly don't care where the parts get painted. I just want them done with the same product and by the same people. This father/son team really are talented and do some amazing work, and I'm pumped to see what the final product looks like. It's just a shame the relationship with the other shop owner fell apart. As long as I have my car back, I'll be happy. It's been a long 8 weeks...
