[TR] TR6 paint

[Chad]

 Oh good golly......I would never use black beauty on a car body.  That is an abrasive we use in the industry to remove extremely hard deposits like Blue Blush from very thick / heavy steam turbine valve components.  I would be extremely worried about base material removal in your case.

  Listers,
 I recently did a bare metal refinish on my TR8 coupe. I had NOT intended to do so........started out as a touch up and then.........
 My pal has a water blasting system that mixes in a media. We used coal dust...aka Black Beauty. It completely stripped the car in a short two hours with NO panel warpage. Then it took 5 hours the next day with two orbital grinders using 220 grid to cut down the roughage caused by the BB.  In twelve hours we had a very good result. Cost $100 a bag of BB x 3 bags.
 If one is going redo an older car I suggest this be considered.
 As for a TR frame I would get the shell off it and be sure it measures  correctly. Then I would add various bracing. Then fit the body.
 Yes, getting the gaps is an art ! 

CHEERS
