Why rush it if it will compromise the finish!!! I made that mistake with a 306 Cabriolet once, i bought it off my dad's mate who had bought it with a a couple of problems, one being the n/s 1/4 had been kicked in by vandals, it was in for repair before i bought it, but because i was young and stupid, and wanted it there and then, which in turn, the guy doing the bodywork rushed it, ending up with a rubbish finish.

Should be awesome when it's finished though dude!
