My '70 TR6 is getting painted similar to what Paul has indicated.
Three coats of paint (laurel green), fourth coat will have clear
coating mixed in. The only difference is the shop will put a final
clear
coat over this. Similar discussion with my shop, will withstand most
anything and scratches can be buffed/wet sanded out.
I absolutely trust the shop that has been doing the work. The owner
fired
the body man who put in four weeks worth of work because he was not
satisfied
with the quality and has personally redone all the work over, at NO
COST!
