I feel for you. When I had the hood and drivers side of my daily driver re-sprayed on my 99 Suburban it was at the guys shop for 5 weeks and when I got it back I wasn't really happy with it at all. Now it is only a few years later and I come to find out there was bare metal in spots he sprayed and in other spots the filler shrunk and now you can see DA sanding marks and see basically everything underneath. I wish I took it to someone else. Not really happy with it at all. 90% of the finished paint job is the prep work itself. Now is the time to make sure everything is right. I'd say follow up on it and keep checking on it and be the pain in the ass to this guy. The faster he gets it done the less he has to see or hear from you! Just don't do it so often that he rushes the job and it comes out like crap. I put my car off for yet another year but it looks like you might have yours in running condition this summer.

Tahnks for the advice. I did call him and he was in a good mood. We talked and he told me to come check on it at the end of the week. He says he is having his helper get sanding and he expects to have 60 hours in blocking and priming by Friday! I expressed my concerns of the job being rushed. He offered a 1 year warranty on anything that arouse that I didnt like.
I feel a lot better and will be bringing a case of beer by his shop Friday afternoon!

Good thing I didnt hold my breath. I call Friday and he said he would be working on it Saturday. Based on some photos of a bike paint job I seen in his booth that he posted on Facebook Saturday. Im thinking I got bumped AGAIN. Im calling this morning to find out.
