I have to paint the car, something I've never done. What paint is correct for showing? I'm starting read about paint. I'll start taking the car apart over the winter.
Color change is acceptable to Judges I think. Can someone verify that please. Thanks from the newbie. Say, when to I loose the newbie title? After a restoration? LOL Gene |

I think a color change is a big mistake, especially for a car as rare and valuable as a factory six.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I wouldn't try a concourse paint job the first time around. I would suggest you do the dis-assemble, paint removal & go as far as you can. Then job shop the final prep & paint to a professional. 60% or more of the paint job is work (manhours) you can do yourself. A paint expert told me it takes 400-800 manhours for a concourse paint job inside & out. Tom |
