What colour is my car? - Need a touchup stick

[Alex L]

It's listed as Prestige Grey with a paint code of R3160

Just been to try and get a touch up stick from someone who can usually mix TVR colours, however he has no record of R3160 Prestige Grey. I've looked on the Paintcodes thread and that's all that's listed and that is was a 1999 colour, anyone know any more info?

Pic for your info..



Thanks

Yep, S and D Blackpool is the way to go, they have your original build/paint records.(Not Halfords prices tho')

Could you tell us where you are going to get the touch up stick made. I need one myself.

Cheers

you might think i'm mad but if was you don't bother with a touch up stick. I personally think it stands out too much and makes a car look like it's got a teenage pubity problem with achne and looks worse than the stone chips.

The only way to get chips sorted apart from a re spray is to spend ages on cutting the area down until the paint blob is of a similar height to the original paint work.To me I think you're going to rub some of the original good paint work away in the paint process.

If I was you buy a permant marker/felt tip pen of a similar colour and dab over the chipped area until it's covered I personally think that this looks far better than blobs of paint, it's easier and quicker that a shaky hand.

Don't poo poo the idea, try it before you get a touch up stick.
