From the pics it looks good, but i dont know about different stages of paint jobs, never heard that, i just know pearl and kandy are more expensive, usually a pearl paint job is around 2-2200$ Base colors are not much cheaper. 3 days is pretty fast, i had some body work done so i guess thats why mine took a long time? 3 Days seems pretty fast to prep and paint a whole care unless there's alot of people working on it.
