you should edit this post so people do not think you took your car to Vu's and they didn't meet expectations.

Yeah... looking back that wasn't the most clear. for sleep deprived posting.

So far it looks like Vu's is a real quality place.

$1800 for labor AND materials? If so, wow that is pretty good. Very impressive. In for final results.

I added 2 more photos above from today.
Sorry for the crappy photos, they are through a mostly painted window on the paint booth.

It looks pretty good so far, and actually really neat right now since there is no clear yet and it is more of a flat black.

He is aiming to finish by Wednesday which would by right on schedule for the 2 weeks he estimated.

Adding pictures from this morning in the post above.

I don't have time or a ride to pick it up today, so he is keeping it until Friday and going to continue to get everything perfect

So far I am very impressed.

He is also going to paint some small stuff on my white car at the cost of paint which is pretty awesome.
