Well, after a long period of waiting and asking around for different quotes to get my car painted, I sent the car out to a local shop (Lav's Auto Body in Uxbridge, MA). I got a quote for $6,900 to finish the body and paint her, which was the lowest I found. I'm hoping they come in around that number, but it's been two weeks and she's not painted yet so I'm getting nervous.
It seemed like a lot of money since I'm trying to buy a house, but when I asked my girlfriend for her input, she thought for a second and said, "Well, it's kind of like a band-aid. You need to just suck it up, and rip it off as fast as possible." (I think she's a keeper)
Anyways, I went by the other day and took some pictures of the progress. Considering I paid a guy $4,000 to get it "ready for paint", they found even more problems with his work than I did. Lesson learned: shop around for body work, and find somebody who takes pride in their work. I think I found the right place this time around.
Now hopefully they can get it painted and back to me as quick as possible so I can start getting her ready for the cruise season.
Thanks all for looking.
