Any good Automotive Car Paint supplier/Distributor that does PPG or NEXA should be able to get it for you. Give them the paint codes from this chart

Your best bet is to ask 'Potatomuncher' he knows a bit more than me! but here goes....All four are Basecoat and Lacquer systems. IIRC, Deltron and Envirobase are from PPG, both are basecoats, Deltron is, or was,acrylic based and Envirobase is water based.
2K and Aquabase are from Nexa (Used to be ICI) 2k is acrylic based, and Aquabase the Water based version.
I doubt if you'll be able to get the old Acrylic versions, everything must be environmentally friendly nowadays, so you'll have to make the choice between the NEXA Aquabase and PPG Envirobase. That choice is usually down to the guy who is spraying the car, but if your asking me then I'd go for the NEXA Aquabase for the basecoat, and for lacquer Id use HB Body 2K 492 Clear Lacquer.
Give these guys a ring, next day delivery, and probably as cheap as you'll find anywhere. They do the NEXA Autocolor basecoat and the HB Lacquer. Brighton Autopaints 01273 326981

Your body code will tell you which paint was used, TVR002 will be RM solvent or waterbase, PPG007 will be solvent paint and P422-HWF6B is ICI/NEXA waterbase or solvent, your best bet is to try and source the paint at a supplier that matches your code, but there could be a difference in match between solvent and waterbase and TVR used the same codes for both. If you have any problems email me your year of car, last 4 digits of your chassis no. and body code and I will try to help.

the problem is i dont have no code at the moment chasis plat went off when the car is crashed , found out the old owner has it waiting for him to find it

Hi,

is the chasis number different to the vin? The plate isn't where I thought it was having cleared out my shed yesterday. I will find it, it just wasn't where I thought it was. It might be in the loft.

I have it - you owe me a few beers. Locating a small metal plate your put somewhere 6-7 months ago (which then no doubt your wife moved) in our house is near impossible. But, I have found it - it was in my loft (the third one I checked).

I have also found a purple silicone water pipe. If you take a look around the engine you will see I replaced all the water pipes with the silicone pipe upgrade except the one on the bottom of the rad (just because it is too tricky to replace). I always intended to change the pipe if ever the rad had to come out - I guess it has now!

I will send you the pipe also, email me to sort out the postage and your address.

The body code for the color is P422 HWF6B
