Thanks Tim

Can't answer the first 2, though I shouldn't imagine you'd need too much. For the best finish I'd suggest getting a pro to do it, especially as this sort of paint is hard to come by.
When I had my old Roberts custom re-sprayed (although about 8 years ago) I stripped it down myself back to bare metal and took it to a car bodyshop to do for me. As it was a small quick job they did it for me on a Saturday afternoon and I picked it up on the following Monday. Afraid I can't remember how much it cost but may be worth just asking a few bodyshops if their not too busy.

A mountain bike?! is it really worth it?

I should not think you would need more than a litre..

And iirc it's around £500 (may be cheaper) for a litre of Reflex Charcoal..

Cost me around £250 for half a litre...

And i think Cascade is even more £ than the Reflex range?
Where from? well i think the TVR Paintshop at blackpool only send the stuff to the Dealers not the customers.. but if you had the paint code im sure there are plenty of other places that would do it..

There is some company on the net that has quite alot of these colours and im sure its cheaper too! (forgot the url)

You spray it? nooo, get a pro!

You might more results on the TVR forum. Much of the cost is probably in waste, cleaning up etc - so if you can find someone else who like that colour, you could probably get two bikes done for the price of one.
