A mishap happened in my workshop (not in the UK, not a TVR specialist) today with the unpleasant effect of having to repaint the bonnet. Is there anybody who still makes/sells Chameleon Green paint?
Thank you for your guidance!

Many thanks for the link! Much appreciated.
I will surely give them a ring and ask for a sample.

I (my bodywork people) got spectraflair silver from them last year and it was a very good match.

Good to know they come recomended. Has anyone used their touch up pen for Chameleon blue or similar?

I dont expect a spotless repair but I dont feel mine quite requires a respray yet.

I've had a Reflex Charcoal touch-up pen from them after my factory-supplied one dried up and it was a good match. I recall I was charged quite a bit on the postage to NI which was a pain, but the paint is good.

I bought a touch up pen in chameleon green two years ago from them which is quite good even the paint does not work if brushed than sprayed.

When painting, make sure that the base matches, I think the company recommends black as a base but compare to your existing base.

Let us know how it turned out. At some point I will also have a need for a front end respray here in Germany.

So, I got her back from the workshop today. Used the paint and went by the detailed recommendations of Custom Paints. https://www.specialistpaints.com/products/tvr-cham...
Fabulous job altogether. There really is no difference. I’m amazed and very happy.
