My '63 B, which has been in a body shop for over a year and a half, gets
sprayed today!!! From here it should be just another week or two --
paint has to dry, get buffed, clearcoated, and I'll be damned if I'm
gonna risk this paint job by installing the chrome strips and top
hardware myself...
I chose a slight variant on the original Tartan Red -- the formula is
halfway between TR and Guards Red, which is a Porsche color that has no
orange and a touch of violet. The good news is, after all that time, the
car still starts right up on the first attempt...I'll be able to leave
under my own power!
