everything takes longer than your told, people should expect this by now

i'd rather wait the bit longer, then moan about it at the end, and try to argue price down

otherwise they may rush, get sick of it, loose interest and get a shitter result when it come back

Prep work including getting it into primer 3 days.
Paint and laquer 2 days.
Flatting and polishing 1-2 days depending on the type of paint...

Then the random bullshit most bodyshops put you through, 3 weeks.

go down on a push scooter and throw eggs at them then run off down a wooded alleyway stinging your legs on overgrown stinging nettles

its the only choice
