Getting my 03 repainted

Stopped by the paint shop today, they just put the final coat on her. They start the clear coat tomorrow.

So they painted the car together... thats generally a no-no. And FYI those pics have clear on them... thats not just base coat.

I took mine down to the chassis for the full re-paint and targa conversion:

Just had my wife's '01 vert repainted in May. They took the hood, the trunk, the rear bumper cover, and the front bumper cover off.

Looks great from where I sit. Is it black or charcoal? The color as shown in the picture looks good.
So, like a few others.... What did it cost?
