That is too long and I'm sure you're right when you say there's nobody working full time.
However, if they are now finishing it, color sanding, gettting all the gaps perfect etc. be patient and wait until it's perfect.
You're anxious to get it back but when you do so, make extensive inspeaction to be sure it's 100%, check that there's not "orange peel" in hard to reach areas, it's equally glossy etc.
You don't want long waiting time and then get the car back in not perfect shape.

Thanks for the response guys. I am going to talk to the owner and the manager one more time
today. If they cannot take care of this today; I am going to take my car to another shop to get a
quote. I will then propose for them to discount me the difference. I cannot believe a large company
like this cannot take care of my car and I have to continually point out the same problems on the
car for the last 3 weeks!

After talking to the shop last Friday; he is saying how he's loosing money on this job now because
his people cannot paint my car the way it should be done. He said he will be charging atleast 12 grand for future Porsches. I told him that I feel bad that he think he's loosing money, but we had an agreed price. What he does for his future customers is his business. This lead me again to thinking that he or his people are not making serious efforts to getting my car done. I thought I made
a good decision going to a larger company, obviously I am wrong. Sorry to keep ranting about this.
Please chime in if you have any thoughts on how I should handle this. I would hate name the shop
and trash their name in public. If any Rennlister are considering painting their car in Orange County, with a larger shop. If you like, PM me the shop name and I will let you know if it's the same company that is painting my car. Regards!
