They did nice work on the body and primering it. When are they going to paint it?

very nice, everything looks straight from those pics.Hope those lines i see in the primer aren't a forecast for how the final paint will come out. I've seen some horrific paintjobs

^ That roof and trunk looks like rattle can. That primer shouldnt stay outside on a cold damp night. It will soak up all that moisture.

The reason its treaky is because I just wiped it off with a cloth right before pics, its just very dusty. As mentioned above, its only been done for a day so I cant wash it...It is actually the best primer job I have ever seen, the pics dont do it justice...paint will come whenever I finish the motor and suspension (maybe mid february)

Some of the lines you are seeing in the pics are because it has not been wet sanded either...
