Home from paint!

That shouldn't take more than a couple of days. LOL, LOL, LOL. Like @Hellrats said, this is the fun part. Going forward, Pretty much everything you do to it will show visible progress, which is rather exciting. Is it base / clear? There is nothing at all wrong with an ES paint job. I have used them when flipping a car that I did all the prep work on, and they always looked great. I must say that the Sassy Green looks great on your notch.
Yes....base/clear.
It's definitely gonna take a while to put it all back together!
But you're right, every part is going to be noticeable. .....that will be satisfying!
