Different opinions and likes/dislikes I suppose and no offense intended: I
intentionally left the back of bowtie6 body colour. I am no traditionalist
and prefer the body colour in the back. I also left the windshield frame,
body colour. Besides, the way I see it, when I paid $500 a gallon for
DuPont ChromaBase for pure Red, then it would be a sacrilege to cover it up
with black paint.
To you the TR6 is an ugly little car with the back painted black. I favour
that and there is an added benefit: it gets noticed. I guess this
infuriates 'purists' and that to me is a priceless bonus...
I guess to each his own...

Subject: Re: [6pack] paint, black back cars ??
I heard someone somewhere say the black back gives the illusion of a wider
car
than it really is. All I know is, a TR6 that is body color in the back is an
ugly little car, IMO of course. I don't know, they just don't look right. I
always take it as a restore shop that didn't know better, not an owner that
preferred it that way. You see some strange things on E-bay, like
union-jacks
put on backwards, etc.
