The info in my post was just on the last two shops (both in Lake Elsinore). My car never made it into either of the first two I had scheduled.
* I had the first shop (Whittier) buy the paint before the LA County waterborne paint only law went into effect. Then he closed shop and disappeared with my paint.
* The second shop (Indio) was scheduled to receive my Dart and begin work. Then he closed up shop unannounced and moved to Arizona two weeks before I was scheduled to take my car in to him.
It's been an adventure...and the cost has gone up each time!
Is your painter local to San Berdoo?
