Hello Reflex owners,

I need to find the paint code for the above colour. I had a look at the paint codes, but there are several. someone may have the code...have a look at my profile and that's the colour. I'm 10553 miles away from the UK at the moment. My colour changes from purple to green only.

Thanks for any help.

eta again, these codes are also correct - PPG023 P417-TKR1

Why is nothing ever straight forward !! You could also check with Surface & Design in Blackpool

Transmitter Man, that Sag looks more Chamelian than Reflex, maybe just the lighting effect though.

Simon,

It was called reflex in the post where I first found it and it sure looks different to the earlier photo's in this thread but as sais, it could be the light.

That IS me Simon. The tuscan & me are both in Australia now, unfortunantly a truck drove into the front of my car on the docks (in Oz) and damaged the service bonnet. It traveled all that way to have a car park bingle.....joy!

Thanks for the pic, our colours are the same.

Cheers,
Rob

you need to use your body code for your colour, at TVR we used ICI/NEXA and PPG paint and LECHLER on at least one reflex colour, there could be a difference in colour match between them. we have just had 2 TVR"S in that were reflex charcoal, one ICI/NEXA and one PPG and you can tell the difference. on top of that the reflex colours can at times only be sourced in waterbase and that could cause problems as well.

Thanks mucher, that info will be invaluable me thinks, I have passed it onto my repairer. How long could paint last in a sealed tin in the right environment? If we can nail the colour I might purchase a little more for the next time.

ahh Night Rider, I hope it's only a minor repair. Aussies will go nuts for your car cruising out there...!

All the best.
