[TR] Paint job for 1972 TR6

[Chad]

 Absolutely agree.  Maaco can spray paint ...... usually do a pretty good job of it.  Prep work is key, though, and that is where they suffer.  If you are capable do the prep yourself.  We did that on my son's Dodge Magnum Wagon..... Maaco painted it with their top quality paint and 3 coats clear for about $1200.  It came out great.  We cut and buffed it at home.  We would have spent close to that on paint anyhow..

Do the frame alignment first as it might crack bondo or previous repairs. If you do the prep work your self..Maaco like shops can do a good paint job. You can even choose the paint they use. Will get the price down into the low thousands... daveP

Hello,
 
  
 
I’m looking to have my ’72 TR6 painted. However there are  2 restoration/paint places near me, (Philadelphia area).  They are both say that it’s going to cost about $15,000. There is nothing wrong with my car mechanically. And the current paint job is not that bad. But  the engine bay is the (original  ???) black. And the frame night need some alignment. The doors do not align exactly. I’m not looking for a car show looking vehicle. But I don’t want a  Maaco job either. Does anyone have  any suggestions?
 
  
 
Thanks,
 
Jeff Nathanson
