Paint code confusion

[garreth64]

I'm trying to find out the correct paint code for my September 2002 Cascade Blue Tamora.

The owners manual states Cascade Blue but has no paint code.

The VIN plate shows a body code of 028067 which doesn't seem to refer to anything.

The PH paint code thread shows the following 3 entries for Cascade Blue:

P153 CASCADE BLUE 1427B 2K
P153 CASCADE BLUE 1427M 2K
P153 CASCADE BLUE 1427B AQUABASE

On the internet this site sells Cascade Blue/Violet which looks like the correct one but has a PPG code of DH987: http://tvrpaint.com/shop/tvr-cascade-violet/

It also states that TVR did a non flip paint called Cascade Blue as well just to add to confusion.

Cascade violet is listed on the alternative paint code thread as:

n/a Cascade Violet - DH957 - - - -

So have I got Cascade Blue or Violet, Nexa 2k/Aquabase or PPG? Too many different codes and options leaving me confused!

Is there a paint code anywhere else on the vehicle I haven't found?

I want to order some paint but want it to be the right stuff.
