Anyone know where I can get a touch up pen or paint in cascade blue? I've tried a few places but no one seems to do it!

There will be a paint code on the car somewhere.

Jawel paints in Stirchley Birmingham, or any other decent paint supplier can mix to that code.

Or if you take a piece of bodywork, Fuel Cap, Wing Mirror cover, whatever they can guarantee an exact match for your paint.

All the serious paint suppliers have computerised paint mixing nowadays. Never found a colour that could not be replicated.

Very useful when matching a colour mixed for the owner. No other way. Used them many many times. They even mixed cellulose for me for my 1954 Wolseley. Exact match completely indistinguishable and in the same material so it fades at the same rate. This works.

There are 2 Cascade Blue colours in the TVR range, one a straight colour and one a Cascade multi colour/flip.

Body Code needed to find which one.

I got a reflex spice from them, for touching in chips. Was skeptical it would match, but it's fine.

International colours only list it as a single metallic blue as do a company I have called from eBay. This is mine, which I have been told is cascade blue, it doesn't look like cascade purple, indigo or green or any of the reflex colours
