Robert leveled some of the orange peel using the CarPro Denim pads to one section of the hood....

Nice car buddy....

Nice TR Robert.........I had a couple back in my day,

1976-Tr6 and a 1968 TR250 (the only year they were made) Man do I miss those two!
 
Can't wait to see the finished product Robert !!! Work your magic :)
 
Wow, that is a very nice looking Triumph. :dblthumb2:
Interested to see how it turns out. Have been toying with the idea of getting some of these denim pads for a while.

I have a TR6 booked in for February - the Triumph National show is being held in my home town & the TR6 I will be detailing is a multi trophy winning car. No trailer queen either - the owner is driving it about 350 kilometres for the show, hence I will be detailing the underside also. Looking forward to it.

. . . though maybe after attending Boot Camp, i may not want to leave . . . :props:

Awesome car buddy - excited for you!!! Enjoy!!! :dblthumb2:
 
Just curious...is that a re-paint? Just don't remember ever seeing a stock black TR.

Bill, black was available on the TR6 from 1969-1976. Paint code "11"
It was one of 2 colors available all those years the other being white.

There were many color options but those depended on the year.

My 1976 TR6 was Russet Brown code "93" which was only available in 1976.
 
Tim,

I'll be! Learn sumthin' new all the time.

Been way way to long since my days of working on TR's. I've forgotten what colors where available back in the late 50>early 60 era. "CRS" really raises its ugly head at times (LOL).

Thank you for the info...

Bill
 
BillE, I think the car was originally that god awful mustard color, it also shows signs of red in hard to get to spots
The car has an older restoration and was sprayed black
The quality of the paint was so-so
I wet sanded and finished the hood yesterday, maybe Mike Phillips could post a hood shot from last night
 
Classic British car:thumbup:

Awful is the understatement. Even "Mary Kay Pink" would be better.

Thanx for the paint info.

looking Great Robert!

seeing yours makes me want another..........but boy they are bringing big money these days.

my 76 was purchased in the mid 80's for 2500 bucks and it was in pieces, literally. Brought it home in the back of a pick-up truck, took 3 trips and 2 1/2 years to put it together......but it was a really fun project!

By the way Robert " the Roadster Factory" is a great source for parts and info on your TR. I also have bought parts from "British Victoria".
 
I had to share these shots I took of Robert's ride @ Cars and Coffee.

The word "impressive" is not enough to describe that finish!

Well done...
