TR4/4A TR4A Just Back From The Paint Shop

Thanks for all the comments! We only took a few pics when we returned home as it was getting late and we just drove seven miles in 47 degree weather with no windshield! Everyone should try that at least once! The paint was Dupont 8450. Its hard to say exactly how much it cost because we did a lot of the work ourselves removing all the chrome, stripping it down to bare metal, etc before we sent it out for paint. We were lucky to have a very straight rust free car to start with which made it a lot easier to deal with. We had a local shop do the painting and had close to $500 in materials so probably two or three grand after its all added up. If we had to pay someone to do all the work we did it would have been a lot more. Here's the other before and after pic. Thanks again
