Ok, so I am going to paint my car.

autobody101.com This is a mix of DIY'rs and pro's and they are a great resource. Don't let the project scare you off. It's a LOT of work, but if you take your time, do your homework and follow some basic rules your TR6 is going to look great and you're going to feel great (not to mention a little richer).

Here's a bit of homegrown advice from someone who's been there several times: Don't shortcut your body prep. When you think you've got it perfectly smooth and fair you're probably about halfway there. It doesn't take much to look fair in primer, but it's when you put the shiny stuff on that the truth comes out. Ask me how I know. Good luck and we want to see pictures.
