Reflex Purple - colour code or formula?
Discussion
Does anyone have know the paint formula (or even the colour code) for Reflex Purple?
My Cerb is currently a 3 stage mica pearl red and it has been removed from the road for a colour change. I have a bodyshop so in theory I should be able to produce any previous TVR colour.
Having sprayed out a number of scrap panels in various colours, my mood seems to have swung from a straight metallic (Marasala Met paint code P179 was my favourite) to going the whole hog and and sticking a flip on it. I've searched Spies Hecker,Rage, House of Kolor and Standox paint schemes for Reflex Purple and the nearest I can get is either Rage or Standox, but both schemes only contain the flip from purple to green and I know that Reflex Purple has at least 2 other colours in it.
If anyone has a Reflex Purple Tiv, could they please look under the bonnet and pass me the paint code? It should be 4 or 5 digits/letters and be on the section that says "Body code" on the VIN plate. Alternatively if someone more knowledgable than me should know who actually produces it - I would be grateful.

Hi,
The last lot of paint I got for my car was from the factory. Unfortunately this paint was a special formulation concocted by the guys at blackpool. As far as I know due to legislation they are no longer able to bring in the component pigments to make it in house, so the last batch I was was supplied to them ready mixed. I am however unaware of the paints original source though.
A better person to speak to may be gerbil from the factory (I think he floats about on here as well) as he is the main paint man.
Hope you manage to find a supplier, and when you do please post back up on here for future reference.
Good luck
