Im sure they did, if not they are going to have alot of masking to do. Its one of the best shops ive seen in my area. Only know of another close to my house. but the one thatsl the car is at painted the car and they did a pretty good job on it before hand so im not worried. I honestly havent seen the car since i made the thread tho

Made a pretty rookie mistake by having solid primer edges. Even after it's sanded smooth it can show up in the final finish.

Not removing bumpers is super lazy. I'm pretty sure insurance pays for them to remove them and if they don't they can get in trouble. Cause here we have too.

edit. They also sprayed your exhaust....

Well im sure if they dont remove the bumpers im still going to be able to see the old paint and that would be unacceptable in my book. Plus the car is getting a complete color change so they have to remove the bumper to get that frame part in the engine bay.

Idk about the primer stuff to comment on that
