my car has been in paint jail for 5 weeks already...

 

2 days

 

WTF?? They must have really messed up or just don't care or something.

 

1 week. Needed a new front end and paint. They matched the pearl white perfectly.

 

10 mins lol to check it out real quick before i bought it

 

My 95SE has been in the bodyshop since august. And she'll be there until march.

 

3 to 4 weeks. My '97 SE 5-spd got hammered by hail less than a year after I bought it (in 2000). They cut the top off at the four pillars, reinstalled the sun-roof in the new top, replaced the hood, took the light dents out of the trunk lid, and repainted the whole thing original arctic white. It looked absolutely like new. Cost my insurance co. a little over $6K! They wanted me to take it to one of those paintless dent repair shops instead. Yah, right.

 

1 week...

 

Since I've owned it, only a couple hours luckily

 

ha that would suck big time

 

5 Days.

When my 99 was parked in a furniture store lot FOR SALE before I bought it, it got clipped on the rear by some bigass hittin-and-runnin truck. The guy selling it got a quote to replace the trunk/spoiler and rear bumper, but luckily, popped out the dents, and the body shop put the rest of the insurance money into repairing rust up around the front fenders.

Sad part of the story is - when they sprayed the trunk, they simply masked off the maxima emblems, and now there is no chance of me shaving them without a complete trunk repaint.

 

1 year +.... well technically it's still there but doesn't matter much anymore...
