I was told by the owner, that they are no big shop like Sprayglow, and only a 2-3 guys shop. Guys need to get paid as they are working and car is in there for extended time since that's the only source of monies.

I am at a situation where is loose loose for me, i don't wanna make them mad since they are working on the car, and at the same time don't want to be in a situation I don't want to be in.

The way i have dealt with any paint shop before is, drop the car, check finished product, pay the money and take the car home. Bring back if any problems.

I am going to tell them that i don't feel comfortable about paying upfront when i wasn't told about it, i would have taken it somewhere else. Nor do i expect my car to be put back since I can't satisfy something i wasn't told and being told after the car has been worked on. They said my car will be finished this week, and be ready to pick up early next week if i pay the half price.
