My friends family used to own a body shop in Astoria queens NYC and every year he would paint his 72 Chevelle a different color. It was always exciting to see what color he would come up with. The family sold the business year's ago and the car has been in storage for a long time and this year he decided to work on the car again but without his shop he has been working on it in an alley. So far he painted the tubs with a paint brush slather and the primer with a rattle can. And it looks great I'm sure all his experience helps but it goes to show it can be done
Thanks for answering those questions. Two TVR specialists I’ve spoken to have advised not going down the original Crystal Topaz route but to choose a more modern colour that is easier to ‘live’ with in terms of touch ups etc. I’m tempted to go down that route but like you say it’s more cost. By the way, loved the Merc you were standing next to. I had a 1955 180D Ponton that I repainted myself back in the 90s. Stuck with the original black for that car. Loved that car.
Good update, I agree with the colour change issue with the only exception personally if the car is black, I’ve repainted my 520D into a nice bmw green but left the engine bay and roof black so it sort of goes. Keep up the good work

Not boring at all! Very interesting video. Thankyou.
Great video 👍A full colour change is like painting it twice 😊.
Amen to the lead loading debate. Also something we are asked about often, very well explained
Thank you 👍

It doesn't matter what you say, some people are committed to lead and nothing will dissuade them, it is like a religion with them!
100% - and thats fine. We all have our own ways. I am not saying Lead is wrong - we just prefer the alternatives - for the reasons given 👍
