Touch up paint - TVR Chimaera

[rowey200]

I need to get some touch up paint made up for a TVR Chimaera is quite a unique colour - can anyone recommend anywhere in or around Bristol that can paint match?

Cheers in advance

When I had my chimaera, the actual colour was jaguar kingfisher blue, but after getting that colour, I could tell it was a shade or two out
Anyway, there's a place on Kembury Park in Swindon that I took the car to and they matched and mixed the paint by eye, and gave me 200ml of raw paint to use as touch up for about £20
I can't remember their name, but I'm sure someone will come along soon who does
I'd highly recommend them as TVR's never seem to have the exact colour as given on the vin code

Cheers....I know what you mean. I reckon I am better off getting a match rather than ordering from the paint code. This is what I'm trying to match:

You're not the first person to say that

Much of the TVR paint was mixed using the ICI scheme which makes it more difficult to match with other systems. Find yourself a bodyshop with a spectrophotometer so that they can scan the finish and give you a good match.
