Nick,
I just re-did mine. I painted it the factory color (as on the plate). But
that was just me. I agree with the other folks who have answered your
question, do what YOU feel goo about.

Subject: Paint Color Change?
Hi Fellow Sixers,
Well it's time to paint the six this fall and the decision has to be
made if I should change the color. The car actually has the original paint
on it now, not a speck of rust except a tiny bit at the seems of the engine
compartment and firewall , but the acid rain has taken the shine away and
it's been buffed so many times that the white primer shows through in
places, so it's time. The big question is color. The car now is Mimosa
Yellow, which I like but it's still a yellow car if you know what I mean.
I'm considering the original TR6 color of Maroon. What I'd like is some
input from the crew on the idea of changing from the original color. Will it
reduce the overall value of the car ? I plan to take the car down to primer
and do the entire car except under the dash area.
Thanks Nick
