Ideally, the shop would hold on to your car for that period of time, but of course that's not economically feasible, not to mention the fact that body shop lots would be full of cars waiting to fully cure which would be a major inconvenience for them.


Was in a body shop. He had the car for about a month. Yes he is really busy since he takes care of insurance cars. It isn't just the clear coat that is chipping, its the actual paint. I have chips EVERYWHERE and even some bubbling on the doors.

It's paint lol

I figured I was going to have to start from scratch crap lol
