TOUCH UP STICKS

[red glow]

Can anyone give me some ideas on where to get some adequate touch up sticks?

Unfortunately, I have no clue where to start, and dont want to end up with Poo Sticks!!

Lynn, I'm afraid Red Glow is a pig to match. I've had two touch up sticks from TVR and they are totally different. There have been a number of different Red Glows over the years. I have a friend with a 2004 T350 and its much pinkier than my 2006 Tuscan. Rover Nightfire is quite close without the sparkly bits of aluminium. I even tend to mix Nightfire with Red Glow to get a better match.
The sticks I got from TVR were off cars being painted on the line, and £10 each. Also Kevin (Gerbil) tells me they're passed the Used By Date after 6 months, but I must say its never stopped me using them.

Are there any body shop specialists of equal repute in London or the surrounding area?

Used by date after 6 months Red Glow get in touch with AUTOMEDON, they have two shades of said paint and will send you, free of charge, two touch ups, you never know, maybe one of them will match

HI Retrobution, Thanks for that, I have been on the web site and emailed someone called Phil, told him all the shade names I have been given for the car I was told at the show room, that it was called, Red Glow Pearl. but in the hand book it says~ Paint colour Rosso Pearlescent, and THEN it says Hood colour Red Lamonta!!!!!, Whats That All About ?

[glow worm]

Let Automedon sort you out...but I thought Rosso and Red Glow were different colours.

HI Worm that Glows!, I Have no idea at all, just got told it was red glow pearl But like I said,
someone has written in the Hand book, that the paint colour is"Rosso Pearlescent"

[glow worm]

Lynn, just checked my paint code it's TVR116...Red Glow pearl...the Lamota is the furry fabric on your roof and poss. doors...Salesmen are not always correct re-car colours...that other convertible in the pic with mine was advertised as Rosso and I'm sure it was from TVR CASTLE and is Red Glow...
Look for the BODY CODE on a metal plate in the Boot or your Handbook

[red glow]

Thanks, There is no where in the Hand book that says Body code, so I will go have a look in the morning. To be Honest, I dont need a Touch up Stick yet, Im just getting prepared !!!!!
