I have a TR6 in the garage, frame completed and bodyshell prepped off the
frame. I had the bodyshell Redi-Stripped, etch primered and the painted. I
had the wheel wells and rockers painted with "Chip Guard", a paint add-in
that looks like lightly coated undercoating. My plan is to paint it black
to duplicate the undercoating look without the goop (if I ever get back to
that car again). Chip Guard is probably available at most auto paint
stores.
