gold tvr 500 in need of paint!
Discussion
hi,
i need to source some paint for my rolls-royce gold chimaera, i need it so fix a scratch on the rear end and for touch up . There is no evidence of the code on record 
and i have even taken it to a place in ipswich where they put a device on the paint work that " reads the color " then scans it onto a laptop to provide me with a formular. My local body shop mixed the formular on to a test card today , but sadley still not quite a good enough match.
Im running out of ideas, im going back saturday to try again , he is going to change the mix so its not so brown but im still not sure if it will work.
I doubt there are to many rolls-royce gold chimaera 500 kicking about so if any one knows my car or has worked on it in the past
, please help!. i got it from Altringham.

Well that's good news, yours is such a nice colour it'd be awful ending up having a full respray, I hope it's a spot on match. , he is currently mixing me a RM and ICI solvent.

I've heard about the article, but not seen it as yet. I assume it's registration is either RMO 699F or MBL 546E, as they were the two most famous GTS racers, but will have a look at some point, all aluminium shells, so much much lighter than ours.
Still waiting for a ride in the beast by the way
