You can get your car over in primer and have it painted locally - I did this with mine (I wanted the NSX Long Beach Blue Pearl).
Sturgess in Leicester - who were the supplying dealer - did the paint and it seems to have held up very well so far. Only issue was that they didn't have experience with actually glueing the headlights/vents into the clams and so there was a little grief there early on which, in retrospect, could have been avoided by having that done by the factory.
In theory this means you could have a trick flip paint job if you really wanted...

Just got back from a Hexham Horseless Carriage track day at Croft. Spanked some TVR's. The only Noble's there were the HHC M400 demo car and mine.
Gave loads of passenger rides to TVR customers so hopefully they will convert to Noble ownership.
Crystal Topaz it is, and I'm very pleased with the the overall look, especially when the sun shines.
As Justin mentioned, after the car was completed in SA, and due to the extra time it took to paint, I believe the decision was taken not to offer custom colours from SA. But I believe you can choose primer and have your local dealer / paint shop do the job.
Back to Croft: I had a few laps playing with Tony from HHC in his demo M400 early aftrenoon and pulled passed him as his car was still only just run-in.
Later afternoon, I got a mirror full of said M400 pushing me hard. Great fun. I let him passed to see where he was getting the extra speed from around the circuit. We both pulled in together and I asked Richard (Tony's son) who was driving the M400 on those laps. It was only Warren Hughes ex F3, BTTC and Le Man local from Sunderland.
He loved the car and raved over it.
Cheers,
Ian.
