[TR] Paint job for 1972 TR6

[Allen Hess]

Do you belong to a club (Delaware Valley Triumphs)? Ask other members. Not knowing what “Philadelphia area” encompasses here are a few.

Motor Car Garage in Maple Shade NJ. They have a TR6 in progress:

Further afield north, there is Ragtops and Roadsters in Perkasie, PA. 
Triumph Rescue in Bally, PA and K&T Vintage Sportscars in Bethlehem, PA. They all do concours restorations. 

If you’re looking to do the engine compartment, that could entail a lot of hours disassembly and reassembly. Engine out (?), radiator, brakes, lines, wiring etc.
You say that the paint is not that bad, maybe a professional detailing would be an option. Not a $200 job done in a day but a really concours sort of job.

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?
