Spectraflair paint

[Rib]

Does anyone have a good place to get Spectraflair black made up?

Thanks

I'd speak to Surface and Design, Brendan (think his company is Concept Performance?), and maybe Adrian at Central TVR and also Rick at Salford Service Centre.

I didn't realise it until I had to choose my respray colours but there are various different options for Spectraflair. The original TVR spec stuff seems to be mixed into the paint, but with a higher percentage than some off the shelf stuff. Then there are a couple of options for having a plain basecoat and a Spectraflair coat on top, and the number of layers affects the amount of colour change, but the more layers, the more silvery the paint becomes. Also Spectraflair Lite... much cheaper but not as strong an effect (I went for this one)

Hope the others don't mind me posting pics of their cars but these two stand out a mile as being awesome examples!

I think Don's was called Spectraflair Black, but seems slightly grey/brown under dull light (I actually prefer this one and in the flesh it is absolutely stunning)


The Magpie's Tuscan, sprayed by Rick at Salford service centre and I believe it uses Spectraflair Lite, although the effect is much stronger than what I have achieved with 3 coats so i'm convinced this is the full price stuff!

Plasticman (on here) is the paint expert surely ???

I believe Dave gets his cars painted else where.

Looks a fair way off spectra flair. Think if I was going that route I'd go for the genuine article.

I've got some wheels sprayed up in spectracoat, its identical in finish to that of tvr's. depends what base coat you go for. I went for a standard silver and the spectracoat is like a laceer that goes on the top. I tried 1,2,3,4 coat trials and 3-4 are the same. looks stunning!

The paint factory for my Spectraflair is in Bedford I think? (And cheers for the kind words!)

[crimbo]

Hope this has worked for you, included one in shade where it hides the flip

I've been thinking about having my wheels done my colour as well...

[crimbo]

I was going to do my darker set your colour but I am very pleased with these in the flesh so will run these for a bit.

[Rib]

Does anyone know of a chimaera ever done in Spectraflair?

[Rib]

Crimbo, how long have they been done for now? I've heard sometimes the cheaper stuff can fade after a while?

7months, look as great as ever.

Hi crimbo, getting mine done this week in Spectraflare. Can you specifically advise the products they used including Lacca please. Plus have you got any other pics with your car sidewise. My car is in Azzuro Novola which is Sky blue to Gold/ Silver. I think it will ellevate the wheels personaly with my new Goodyear F1 eagles replacing the Tojo's. Happy days!!

Does anyone know where Crimbo bought the paint? If you could contcat me urently that would be great. Thanks

Any one on here that can help in regards to Spectraflair/ coat paints?

I once inquired late last year before buying a Spectraflare silver T350. The general consensus is the paint is very expensive. Happy to send you a quote I received from a well respected paint shop in Berkshire.
