For the perfect $500.00 paint job, I always went on the theory of wait
for the $299.00 Ambassador special. Give the manager $100.00 up front.
Tell him to take his time and make it nice.
Promise another $100.00 when you pick it up if it's a great job.
Prep yourself, remove the glass etc.
Hope for low humidity.
I saw a great review on DupliColor's PaintShop series, sprays like
lacquer, $25.00 a qt at Pepboys. Was on Gearz on Speedvision, might be
online. Probably what I will use.

Subject: [Roadsters] OK Ebay trash and painting thoughts
OK KNOW THAT WE HAVE COMPLETELY TRASHED THE EBAY SYSTEM.
I need some painting thoughts.
My 1600 is tired (PAINT) got the rust bubbles in a bunch of spots. I am
rebuilding 2 other cars a Saab Sonett and still trying to build a new 70
Solex 2000.
Heres the catch. Broke my leg. Not working . Lots of time. (Broke it
pretty good too)
I want the 1600 to look good but between the Sonett and 2000 (and being
out of work) don't want to pour money into it. Paint to match just to
touch up is $100.With me buying the paint and spraying it myself.Painted
my TR4A won't shoot a whole car again.
If I pull the trim and bumpers,tow the car. Sand and fix the rust. Sand
400 grit to dewax.HOW BAD IS THE $500 MAACO paint job. I won't let them
prep it,that's the money. Is it that bad for a few years?
I'll redo when the other projects are done.
Just some thoughts?
Thanks,
Dave
