just got a call today, i guess it's almost done, they are painting it right now, and then tommorrow it goes in for the alarm and wednesday it goes in for a full detailing (i'd hope that the professionals would know the care instructions for new paint) the guy said he's getting it back to me in showroom condition becuase he could tell that I kept it as clean as possible and that is the reason it's taking so long :happysad: hopefully they all do a good job
