Thinking of a re-spray later this year. Colour change?

[sidpinup]

My paint and trim is looking a bit shabby after 11 years so may get it done later this year. The current car is Reflex Green and I love the colour but I also like Reflex Charcoal with shadow chrome wheels and Mulberry (dark red) leather. I've seen this combo on a T350 but not on a Tam. What do people think?

Pic of my car now.

I think colours both external and interior are very subjective - to me, these cars look good in most colour/trim combinations, and, as I very much doubt you're going to sell your 4.3 beast anytime soon, just choose what you like best.

Personally, the colour combo you suggest would look very nice indeed!

Never thought I'd want a white TVR but when I saw this I became obsessed with wanting one just the same:



Looks like there's another colour lurking in there too, which would bump the price up a little though... Sigh.

Colours are all subjective - but I quite like the ones you have. Would be a shame to make it white, but that's just my opinion...

I like the reflex colours and your colour looks good.

[Spoonman]

The white looks fantastic. And I'm really surprised to hear myself saying that.

These cars are like supermodels, though - you could dress them up in virtually anything and they'd still look great!

Agreed; I really need to swap my Griff for a Tamora. Sorry Griff, I love you an all - it's not you, it's me. I just need a younger, racier model...

That's got to be the best looking Tam I have ever seen. Stunning

Its a bit like Kim Kardashian, lovely from some angles. Not from every angle though...

Looks like flip flop yellow to me, a TVR factory colour. Why they called it yellow is a mystery.

If I had the spare cash this would be a definite choice for me

Had a full respray in Spectra Flair Silver and full interior re-trim done last year at D&C and S&D in blackpool.





.. and finally had the spiders powder coated:



... next is the power 4.3L, 4.5L or 5.0L rebuild, but haven't decided what one yet.

[LeeHodges]

This topic is not helping my Tamora obsession.

[sidpinup]

I said I was thinking of going darker and you guys hit me with all these (lovely) pail cars! I do like the white mind you.

[Brew]

That white is stunning - is it a Lamborghini colour? Love the colour of mine and never really thought about changing it but ......


What sort of money would a full different colour respray cost?

Reflex Charcoal is a stunning colour that flips between grey,green, black and purple in the sunlight. Unfortunately it is very prone to stone chips and you gain more every time you go for a drive.

This was my old Tam which was wrapped in pearlescent white 3m wrap

My opinion may not count for much but the colour combo you have is the Bees Knees!

I totally agree.. My Tuscan S is Reflex Green like your's and it is a fantastic colour.. In the sun it flips between Green/Purple.. It has so much depth to the colour it is amazing, Have you considered a professional detail? You would be amazed at what can be done to bring your paintwork back to life.

Thanks guys, I do like the colour now and the Reflex Charcoal would be the same effect just darker. I did consider a detail but stone chips and a fair few pimples don't make that viable as a long term solution. I'm guessing it's going to be £10k for a trim and a reflex paint.
