If taking a race car on a trailer make sure no spare wheels and tires, no gas cans or oil cans and trailer also has Mexico insurance.
The last time I took the 914-6 race car to get a complete paint strip and rust spot repair they had someone meet me at the border as Mexico customs will most likely stop you for paperwork check. The last paint I had used was the same as sold in CA and the rest of the US now.

Thanks, John. I remember that thread from years ago and have even talked to the manager on the phone but never got around to bringing them a car. I'm curious whether the situation has changed since then, as well as their prices. I would probably bring them a roller on a trailer already taken apart and leave it with them for as long as they needed. As bad as parts of TJ are, I'm having a hard time imagining that it would be dangerous one city block into Mexico(?) I would drop it off and immediately turn around and get in the long line to cross back into the USA.
