Cooper Green Metallic - is it from something else ?

[Barkychoc]

I could do with some touch up paint - its Cooper Green Metallic.
Do I need to get the paint made up or is it from something else ?

Has anyone compiled a list of what colour is from what ?

Chris,

I believe it is a Rover colour (yes!). Do a search on the Chim forum - it was discussed there.

There was a chap who sold Cooper green touch up paint on e-bay a few weeks ago.

Searched up, down, sideways and back to front but couldn't find a definitive answer.
If anyone else can help please do!

I'd read on the Chim forum that one of the other greens was BMW but haven't found anything to say Cooper Green is.
Of course there was a time when Rover & BMW were one, but lets not go there !!

Well went to Halfords today (Netherfield, Nottingham) and guy could not have been more helpful.
Looked up TVR paint code on their system (as previously mentioned their code number is 1 different from TVR's, but still listed as cooper green metallic).
I now have 100ml of touch up paint which is a perfect match (just tried it) for £7.99
Those little touch up brushes, even if you can figure out the right one, only have 12.5ml in them, so for once I'll stick my neck out for halfords & say what a bargain.

Well done that man, now don't keep it to yaself, whats the halfrauds paint code for it then I can go get some too? Go on, share, you know you want to.

P168 on my doco, but P167 on halfords system.
To be honest didn't need the code - was on the System under TVR and Cooper Green Metallic (along with quite a few other colours under TVR).
Thanks to SimonV8ster on the Chim forum who gave me the halfords tip.
