Wow man. You are doing an awesome job on the build. I don't know many with the patience you have shown and props on your wife being positive and encouraging. I know that can make a world of difference. Good luck on the rest of the build, can't wait to see it finished

Thanks that means a lot knowing you appreciate the quality of the build. I am lucky to have her. I've tried to pull the plug on this build several times and she has steered me back. I am getting impatient again. Paint shop pushed me back from June 1st to the 12th. I hope in the next couple weeks to have updated pictures. Thanks again 🙃

Congrats on reaching this build milestone!
What color paint?
What is the price you were quoted? I've considered sending my Evo in for paint and have received quotes all over the $2500-$8000 range. I know nothing about paint/prep work, just curious to know what other's are paying.

Thanks man!!! Keeping it Electric Blue... Paint prices fluctuate per shop. Just cause someone charges say 7k doesn't mean they are good. I got a guy local who does pretty damn good work.
