I've got a '72 TR6 I bought a couple of years ago knowing the paint
would have to be re-done soon. Now that "soon" is upon me I'm trying to
do it without spending an arm and a leg.
The car has fibreglass front and rear fenders which I intend to replace
with steel. I will also be removing the windscreen frame, top, interior
and all exterior bits myself before painting starts. I then figure to
float it to a good shop to be sanded, primed and painted. I already
have one quote for $3500 which presumes I'll do all the above myself.
Before I run around haphazardly I'm wondering what everyone's
experiences are with approaching the job this way. I had considered
doing everything myself but I only have a cluttered single-car garage
completely unsuitable as a paint booth.
Also, can anyone recommend someone in Southern Ontario who can take on
this job without breaking my bank account?
