It was a long and expensive process but in the end it was all worth it. In addition to getting a major bend straightened, I had the original clear coat (which was peeling bad) stripped and clear powder coated for a more durable finish. The lips were also repolished.

It took about three months from the time I sent it to the time I received it but I don't think anyone local could have done it better.

Here's some pics:
