I'm giving serious thought to having mine resprayed as I don't think Starmist Silver suits the car well, could people post some pics of the flip paint ones up and let me know what the colour is called?.

At £6-700 a litre, it's expensive stuff even though it does look the best. You're looking at about £5k for a full re-spray in a TVR flip/reflex colour.

Here's a pic of my Reflex Purple Tuscan under street lighting.

That looks stunning!, the only other non reflex/flip colours I really like on the Tuscan are black and white.

Stunning paintwork although it looks like it's running a rather high ride height. Have you had it properly corner weighted and geo'd?

If you search in the Tuscan forum for a thread called 'Pamper Time' you'll see a couple of paint jobs in there that I think are utterly gorgeous (bit garish for many I'm sure).

In fact you don't need to search for it - it's still on the front page...

after the Sagaris the extra ride height has been welcome, however the car has the last spec bilstein set-up so handles very well.

however I wouldn't mind looking into ride and geo set up (if I ever found the time). Who do you recommend? Most dealers wouldn't have a clue what they were doing.

Mine used to be chameloen blue however due to asmall accident needed to be resprayed. A number o the colour options including the relex and chameleon range where only available in solvent based paints so could no longer be legally sprayed in the UK (may not stop you doing it yousel. I ended up with the emerald blue too.

The sun could not have been out when I took these, there doesn't appear to be any gold in it what so ever! But I can assure you there is.

Joolz (spitfire4v8) who now works with Raceproved in Sheffield did mine some years back. Did a fantastic job and the car handles really well and isn't twitchy in the least.

Reflex spice, didn't realise how many colours were in it, normally looks bronze with a hint of gold/green, but under lights goes purple/gold.
