Paint job on my TR6

When I purchased my car two years ago it had undergone a full ground up restoration, I did negotiate a discount on a few areas of the body work particularly two areas on the bonnet, while not to noticeable I knew that they were there. So this winter my mate who owns a body shop said I will have it Dec / and Jan so he could do it when he had downtime. On stripping the bonnet this is what he found

He lead filled the areas (the proper way) then due to the difficulty of matching Mimosa he refinished both sides where incidentally there were a few spots of where the paint at reacted in the crease on the rear wing. Any I got the call to come a see my car and drive it home, to say I am happy is an understatement, bloomin lovely

That is a lovely colour in the first place, but amazing looking now. Here's wishing you health to drive for the coming season.

My Gt6 has gone off for bodywork and they've found corrosion in the rear spring tunnel and lower parts of the inner wheel arches, so I hope they do even half as good a job as yours.
