Anyone knowledgeable about TVR paint codes?

[m2500tvr]

Hey, Folks:

I'd like to lock down current information about paint for my two TVRs - a '76 2500M, and an '85 280i DHC. Doing a bit of research using the paint codes from the cars didn't turn up anything useful. Anyone familiar with sourcing original paint for these cars?

Thanks,

- SJ

If the wedge code starts with something like P422 then it was an ICI code... usually a competent paint supplier will be able to mix a batch of their pigments to obtain as close a match as feasible.

I don't suppose anyone can decode my paintcode. Its P422-1784, I'm led to believe its a Ford metallic blue, crystal or star something.
