Nick,
I'm having a TR4A restored, currently, at a garage. The exterior paint
(white) is very good, but I thought about having it repainted to BRG, becasue
I love that color. Well, the cost of the restoration is enough for me without
a paint job, but if the car needed a paint job, I'd go with BRG. Your
interior situation can be resolved at a later point....Easy for me to say....
Pat

Subject: [TR] Paint/restoration shops in Seattle
Listers,
I
am contemplating a new paint job for the TR4. Can anyone recommend a good
body/paint/restoration shop in the Seattle area? The car does not need much
body work (if any); just a good frame-on sanding and re-painting.
If it
makes a difference, I am more concerned about rust-proofing than concours
perfection.
The current color is Signal Red, which is not really my thing.
I also have no way of knowing whether it is the original color (body was
pickled long ago, and also lost its commission and body number plates;
currently wearing TR4A tags).
I'd like to switch to BRG, but I doubt I could
afford a full frame-on restoration, so I'd be stuck with a green car with red
innards. Also not really my thing.
So, I'm considering option C, which is
to go to a darker shade of red: Carmine Red, which was used on the TR6 and
other later cars. Has anybody ever seen a TR4 in this color?
Thanks!
