I know that Rosso Pearl is a :cenosred: of a colour to reproduce and colour match, hence why TVR will no longer supply cars in that colour.

Are you looking for a touch-up or a respray, as I think attempting it yourself won't look too good if the experts with all the kit struggle.

It'll be on the plaque on the front passenger side of the engine bay.

Mine is also repeated in the owner's handbook if you don't want to get your hands grubby.

I need a new headlight pod fitting. The old one was bonded on with epoxy and will have to be wrecked to fit a new lens. Got a new pod now just need it spraying!

I spoke to TVR Bodyshop and they told ne all about Rosso pearl and the issues with spraying it. A local guy ho does TVR's said he will do it and is confident that he will get it right, so watch this space!

Good luck - hopefully the scare stories aren't as bad as they've been made out.

Give 'em credit writing on a Friday afternoon and a skinful on bitter isn't easy, be thankful you could read either of them

It seems that there are two different types of paint that TVR used for Rosso Pearl. One is made by ICI and the other by a French company called RM?

The French type is the stuff that is the hardest to match, the ICI stuff is alot easier.

With this in mind I checked the body and paint type and gess what, I have the ICI stuff. The guy spraying the pod says it will not be a problem to match it up.

PHEW!
