[QUOTE="micksnip, post: 5569212, member: 12628"] Unbelievable! Was this the State Hwy Admin? What dolts! Hey, from my 03, I have a lot of experience with getting paint redone. If the entire car is being redone, keep in mind that there are rubber surrounds around the ft and rear windshields, and in order to do the job right the first time, the paint shop must remove the windows (and everything else trim-wise), paint the car, then put em back in with new rubber surrounds. Oh, Lord, that was some experience for me, and then it came out terrible-that's why I don't have the black 03 any more. Just a few tips-meet the shop mgr, prep crew, and painter. Get it in writing that they'll remove everything-mirrirs, door handles, sail panels, rubber window mouldings, the plastic hood vents-no taping over anything! Ask for a call to see it after it's prepped and before it's painted. And make sure they remove the LICENSE PLATE-son't get my blood pressure up-my dolts at one of Mt Airy's Ford dealers (no names or I'll get sued) taped over the license plate, mirrors, and door handles, then painted the rubber windshield gaskets, then used a wrong color black, on and on and on-90 + days in the shop-I was so mad, I could've chewed tin foil! Don't let it happen to you. Micksnip [/QUOTE]
