I'd like to see a "Basic of basics" on how to approach a paint and body shop.

What should one expect from the owner/manager? How should you treat him? How should he treat you? Are there any buzzwords or visual clues that you should avoid this place like the plague?

Maybe these aren't the right questions, and maybe they're not worded correctly. I just think too many people get taken by paint and body shops. Such a lesson would be good for many of us.

If you've covered this before, I apologize. I work offshore and don't get to read the forums all the time.

I believe that this was covered about a month ago or so. I know it may take a while to do a search but I know he did a Basics of... on it. I think you were having fun on the rig when it came out. http://www.chevelles.com/forum/smile.gif
