TR6 Rear deck panel

[toysrrus]

Hello All

I just bought a '73 TR6. Delv is scheduled for this coming Sat-Monday. The car was obviously re-painted & the "Rear Panel" is body color.

I've looked at a bunch of pics of '73s & most of them had the rear panel painted "Black".

Question; Should it be painted "Body color or a Flat Black"?

Thx, Russ

Black

Yep, Black. Non necessarily flat though...more like a semi gloss. Are the rockers under the trim strip black as well? I find that a lot of the time the back is not painted, neither are the lower rockers. They were "shutzed" black.

Congrats on your purchase. You bought the best year

Cheers
Tush

Hi folks,

Thx for the info. I really can't tell clearly if the rockers are black or not but appear to be. I'm guessing "Shutzed" means a "Black Wrinkle" finish?

I had a '72 that had all of the above but just wasn't certain about a '73.

So again, Thx for the info. & I agree with yourself Tush, '73 is the best year.

Yep, a semi gloss black rear panel, and black under chrome strips on sides. Mine has rubberized undercoating on the rockers, and while not totally correct, they are protected.
