Got the Excelsior back today, and she looks amazing. Unfortuantely its getting dark so early the pictures didn't turn out well. Here are the better ones.
While I can't really tell much, the head body guy is making me come back in a few weeks to get the hood painted again. He says the subtle cracks in the paint are showing through, and will do a thorough sand down and respray free of charge.
Not only did they spray the cladding, hood, and under headlight area, they also touched up any other outstanding scratches/chips, popped out a few dings, buffed the entire car, and put on a subtle black pinstripe to cover the painted gold one.
It was love at first sight.
