Now that is a bike shop that is selling customer service!!! Where is this shop? Name?
BTW, did you offer the LBS some money for the repaint? Yeah, they offered, but he lost his a** on that deal. You're gonna have to buy you a whole lot of stuff for the LBS to make any money from you after that paint job. Remember, the LBS doesn't have a large margin on selling bikes. Their money comes from selling all the other stuff.
Who is the painter?

Calfee now paints in-house. I've seen their paint booth, it's HUUUGE! ...of course that doesn't mean that it's good, just large.
When I bought my Tetra, it was from the old facility in Santa Cruz. A third party was painting the frame and forks. I'm very happy with my paint and no complaints. Ten years old and when I actually clean it, it still looks great. Of course there are chips now, but it's seen it's share of debris being thrown at it.
