paint

["James Shope" <healeymanjim@JoiMail.com>]

i am contemplating healey ice blue for the bn6 i am working one.  i remember a
thread awhile back about the best manufacturer of the paint and the varieties
of the tints.  also, i need to replace the first gear in the trans.  i sent my
laygear to england and had a new gear welded on when i did the bj8.  is that
still a good recommendation.  i believe it was austin healey spares that it
sent it to.  is there a stateside outfit that does this kind of work now?
