Can anyone help with a ball-park figure for a cerb front end (cosmetic) respray? Something to take away the stone chips and stuff.

It's a pearlescent paint, fwiw.

Try - NEWLUN DESIGNS in Northants.
90% of all his work is TVR. bow and if the time comes for mine, it's going all the way to them.
I called his to ask about having the lights blended and quoted around 1.2k or around 700 for front end without blended.
Very helpful guys.

I think you're stuffed with Pearl if you want to touch up.
I have Rosso Pearl and the whole car had to be resprayed.
The trouble is that it fades quite badly and it's difficult to get the same finish i.e. the distribution of the bits of mother-of-pearl (or whatever materials they use these days??).

Oh, and a full pearl respray won't come in under £3.5k.
