You'll get there... Remember it isn't a race and you have to feel like doing work on it OR you'll end up doing it twice.

Easier said that done, i have some minor physical issues that won’t let that happen
Alright then. Didn't pick up on that from the post.
I am an old car body guy by day so am used to making things easy for a painter. Every aspect of how far exactly you want to take the fuss level on this area or that, which you can think through while next to the car... are all forward steps. Painters stick to their tried and proven styles, erring to the side of too nice when in doubt, to be successful. What I'm saying is...
Its just as important to discuss where not to spend extra time as it is to discuss what quality level you expect on this car where it counts. They can tweak the quality / economy knob in your favor when expectations are clear initially and don't change along the way. Each has their own way of handling things though so let that be unless you see goofy stuff.
And let 'em know your hurry factor as well. That might be most important of all.
Nice pair in the lift stall.

I bought the chevelle because a buddy that is a great painter said he would paint it for me. He has had some changes in his life and now he can’t to the job for me. I’ve had a couple guys say they would do it then back out for various reasons. I have yet another guy coming to take a look. I’ve seen his work and it is great, he did a chevelle for a buddy and it is laser straight.
