Imperial Yellow - seeking photo paint code HK95 Griffith 500
Discussion
I will be having my Griffith 500 repainted shortly.
The paint that I believe I will be going with is code #HK95. I *believe* this is called Imperial Yellow.
I am hoping someone here has some high quality images of a Griffith in that precise yellow, as I have seen photos of various yellows on Griffiths, some I like better than others.
As a side note the body code plate has the full number of "P420 - HK95". Am I correct to assume that the P420 is the interior/roof code, and the HK95 is the paint code?
Cheers,
Rob.

I did a search for you on the TVR paint code list that I have (not sure where I picked it up from) using P420 and the only two colours that come up are above, both yellow I think? Have you got the TVR code in the hand book to cross check?

Cheers Peter; didn't think of checking book for cross reference, suspect it isn't in there - but will need to look in the glove box and see. The body code on the plate is likely all I have - and a couple of stone chips on the bottom edge of the car that show yellow.
These are the first references with the P420 bit in them, so certainly a step in the right direction.

Still getting prepped. John at TVR North America says he won't have a problem getting the match, darned if I can find that code anywhere on line.
The car has one small spot at the lower edge that is the original yellow, so I will want to see a sample of the paint they are using prior to the full spray happening.
Another snowy day today - don't want to wish time away, but I do look forward to spring, and a 'new' yellow Griffith.

UK Auto,
I may be of assistance if you are still having trouble. I have the very same body code (P420 - HK95) on my Chim 400 and the colour looks very similar to jojackson4's Chim 500. In my handbook the colour is described as Macau Yellow.
It is quite rare as far as I can see. I've had some trouble too. The Halcyon yellow pearl being more common it would seem.
Hope this helps.
EDIT, mine is also a 1994 car so maybe the had it in stock in this year

Sorry for the slow reply - all went well with the paint. TVR North America had the correct code, and a factory colour chip to compare. The car was painted and came out looking great (as much as I loved the red, it looks so much better in yellow, particularily with the brown interior).
