Help needed!! Paint Code for Pearl White
Discussion
After much deliberation I've decided on a colour change now my Cerbera is ready for paint. I've spent a lot of time looking through hundreds of photo's both on PH and google and there is loads of choice!! I've decided I'm gonna go for pearlescant white, it seems to really suit the old style lights and will go well with the all black interior. I've seen few examples but not sure of the paint code. Does anyone have a cerb in the same colour who can post a picture along with the code Any help at all will be much appreciated.

Give it a bit more deliberation. I resprayed mine in white, to be a fair a 'solid' white, not a pearl white. Mine didn't have a black interior, but it was a very dark purple, and the contrast between the interior and exterior was just too much, for example when the doors were shut you can still see the bottom of the doors, and white against the dark interior door panel just looked s
t! It really bugged me all the time I was driving it.
Just like you, I looked at lots of pics and thought that white looked stunning, but the reality can be different. A colour change is also a huge amount of work to do properly.
PS No I don't know the code for the Pearl White, sorry

Thanks for the feedback. The car is actually ready for paint, the guy who is spraying it has had it for a few months, the only original colour left on the car is the engine bay, this will be sorted before the car is sprayed. Interesting comment regarding the doors, I will have a chat to my sprayer about it, this is his third cerb he's sprayed, he may have come across that before.

I don't get what you mean about the bottom of the doors , do you mean you havnt done the colour change on those parts of the inside of the doors? , or you just saying the contrast between the purple interior and the White.
The colour change was done every where. It was the contrast between the white and the purple. When the car was it's original 'Purple Illusion' - a very light silvery blue - I never even noticed the paint at the bottom of the doors. But when I sprayed it white it was the first thing I noticed, it just 'hit me in the face', I hated it. Also when you opened the door it just didn't look right. The car is now Tungsten, a dark grey metallic which actually has a high Purple blue content (believe it or not) and consequently the purple interior looks really good against it.Edited by JensenA on Friday 19th March 22:43
Blimey Alan, third colour?
Lizzy (sharkyTVR on the TVR forum), the RO/Deputy Ro for Staff's TVR has resprayed her chimerea with a beautiful white pearl paint with a hint of pink. Her company did it - www.innovationbodyworx.co.uk
She's also had the entire interior redone which the handiwork looked great.

I like Nickccc's colour, but, forgetting the pearl effect for a minute, it isn't brilliant white. I don't think brilliant white looks good on any car. I've had two 'ice cream' white cars and they were ok - in other words the shade will make or break it. There are many colours that classify as white . Interesting point about being able to see the exterior paint inside the car, this looks crap if it's too obvious, unless it's a feature.

I got one of them.
i remember the code is the same as you will find in this link.
