Listers,
I am contemplating a new paint job for the TR4. Can anyone recommend a good
body/paint/restoration shop in the Seattle area? The car does not need much
body work (if any); just a good frame-on sanding and re-painting.
If it makes a difference, I am more concerned about rust-proofing than
concours perfection.
The current color is Signal Red, which is not really my thing. I also have
no way of knowing whether it is the original color (body was pickled long ago,
and also lost its commission and body number plates; currently wearing TR4A
tags).
I'd like to switch to BRG, but I doubt I could afford a full frame-on
restoration, so I'd be stuck with a green car with red innards. Also not
really my thing.
So, I'm considering option C, which is to go to a darker shade of red:
Carmine Red, which was used on the TR6 and other later cars. Has anybody ever
seen a TR4 in this color?
Thanks!
