Car painting question

Ok I got a question for all those people that have that nice show quality paint job. Now when they paint and you get everything redone, dose a good paint shop that does evenryhting, including under the hood, require you to remove you engine out of the bay also, or do some shops go around it. Im wondering cause I was planning on going boosted and getting a nice little paint job to go along with the whole reversion of the desertmaxima. And if I get the car painted, engine bay and all should I hold off on the turbo so I can remove the block, or do they have some mad scientist method that they can get in all those nice little crevices so i dont have to remove any engines. Any advice from all fo you with the nice little paint jobs (Ange, Jason and all you others with the show quality rides)

Yea see im gonna go for the full works on the maxima, door jambs and under the hood. Im still debating if I want it to be the same pearl white or if I might try silver. And nope no head unit, ive tried to PM the guy, he usually keeps in contact with me real good. He sent me the waiting list of all the people who ordered them. He said if it takes too long he will refund me the money. Im not really in a rush for it right now cause im in iraq

If you want show car quality under the hood as well, be ready to drop down 5 or 6 grand to have your car refinished. The engine will need to be removed, along with every nut, bolt, hose, screw, bracket ect. Were talking a lot of work and a lot of time.
