Paint jail blows, went through that on my first car 25 years ago that took almost 2 years for a "friend" it get just the body finished.

That's one of the main reasons I have been doing 100% of the work on my cars in house. If you work 40 hrs. per week on a car and have 1,000 hrs. in it (on the high side), that's 6 months. I've been doing one car per year and not touching them all summer.
