    How long does a color change process of this level of quality take from start to finish?

    Thanks!

    On a 90s and newer car is takes 4-6 months assuming your just having paint done.

    A bunch of people have emailed and called asking roughly what does a paint job cost and when is our next opening. Most newer cars end up between 15-20k depending on how difficult the existing paint is to strip, metal quality, etc. We only use Glasurit material on the body, PPG on wheels and calipers. Our next opening for a full paint job is Feb/March depending on when we finish out the 6 current paint jobs we have going. Smaller paint work like wheels and bumpers we fit in on a case by case basis and the next opening is the middle of Jan.

    Any specific questions you have regarding material, sourcing parts, or how to tackle a repair just email me.

    Panels hung back on the car fully sprayed in epoxy primer. At this point we let it sit for 2-4 weeks to let the base primer fully cure. The chassis is rolled out into the parking lot to tan in the sun daily. Allot of guys say you can just bake it in the booth for a day and move on, I see so many of these cars with bubbling paint 3-5 years later.

    So where exactly is the car in the process now? In one of the first posts, you showed a painted panel so I know you guys are ahead of what's been posted at this point.

    Enough with the teasing! Show the car already!! :D

    That couldn't be CdF. That was a metallic color like Grigio Titanio. CdF is non metallic. That probably wasn't the car.

    Cars getting prepped for delivery. We had a F1 light issue and now it's in the booth getting a few chips touched up. From gapping the doors and trying to align the panels we chipped the corners in two places. After that an inspection from everyone that worked on it and a detail for delivery.

    Sorry way to much work went into this car to spoil the fun. Enjoy the thread theres plenty to follow.
