Mine took even longer than Warren's for paint. It all depends on the paint scheme, paint and the work load of the paint shop. In my case the paint shop had a lot of rush orders that came in, and I was in no hurry to get the paint done.

Painting fiberglass is not something to be rushed. Tony (one of ERA's recommended painters) likes to do the job in stages and allow things to "set up" before going on to the next procedure. The result being straighter bodies with less likelihood of paint irregularities.

My situation was similar to Marc-Alan's. It got to Tony after several others that had to be finished first. Jim is right though Tony does it the way he does to make sure that it's perfect and to me that's what counts.
