Need some help. I’ve got a Chameleon Blue Tuscan (TVR075 code) and its getting to the point where the car could benefit from a respray – especially the nose. Options I see are:

1. Nose respray and touch up of other small areas on bodywork.
2. Full respray in current colour.
3. Full respray in another colour.

I think 1 or 3 are my only options, as read elsewhere a full respray in Chameleon Blue would be very expensive, and even a partial one could work out the same price as a full one in another colour.

Can anyone give me a rough figure for the costs of these 3 options, and recommendations where to get the job done?

Also, I’m limited on respray options in other colours by the Green/Purple interior. I can't think what else other colours it would look good with?

Cheers
Michael

With that interior combination, you shouldn't change the exterior. Of course, I am biased, as this is the same as my car smile (and it IS the best colour option out there !!!)

I had a rear end respray before the engine went bust, and it cost me:

£800 for the paint (0.4 liter)
€710 for the rest...

So in total, let's say 1500 quid... I've known worse for other cars.

What about an emerald/blue flip colour (see profile)? The paint for the whole car would be around £500. The guy who sprayed mine charges £2200 for a full respray. The interior wouldn't look out of place with this combo.

Thanks for the help.

I've decided to stick with the car as is. I can live with the chips (part of owning a TVR?!), and still love Chameleon Blue too much to change just yet.

Still cant make up my mind which flip-flop colour would make me want to move from TVR075 Chameleon Blue yet either!

Ha ha! Good spot. I think I'd rather pay for a new pot. That one looks a bit 'used'.

Now you're talking smile

And like I said, you already have the best colour combo :-)
