I've booked my cerby in for a new coat of paint and I want to change the colour - I know the colour I want but I don't have a paint code or even a name to tell the painter.

I'm trying to locate a paint code for a pearlescent orange, similar (or same as) the murcealago in EVO this month.
Anyone got any advice on how to track down a paint code please?

Contact a Lambo dealers. If you think they may not tell you say you're from a bodyshop and you need the colour codes to match up the right colour on a Lambo you are repairing.

Thanks FWD, I'm based in NI and don't have a local lambo dealer but I suppose I could track one down somewhere.

You going to be well Tangoed then Garth Vader?

You could put a 'You've just been Tangoed' sticker in the back window beside your 'Baby on Board' sign.

Seriously, TVR featured a Cerbera 4.5 in a similar colour in last year's sales brochure. Looks the biz with headlight conversion, seven spokes, etc. I have a copy you can have if you want a look.

The Lambo Murcelago colour you're after G7TVR is called Sunburst Orange according to the first edition of Octane magazine - article comparing Noble, etc. Good magazine - first edition - just needed some TVRs in there.
