[Mr OCD]

Hi Guys,

Local paint factor said otherwise... something about contacting the main dealer!

Many thanks...

This could help. There were probably more blue variants than any other colour..............

You will find the colour code on the engine bay plate (passenger side)......unless left-hand drive of course

Still having problems ...

Got the paint code - contacted paint factor and they say they cant match it as the code isnt on their system!

They suspect its an ICI colour?

I've no idea... does anyone know somewhere in the NW where I can get this paint?

Thanks very much Malcolm for the information. Its not often people put themselves out for the benefit of others these days so its much appreciated.

It was Chrysler viper blue... the code didnt match but the paint did...

I've got a similar problem. According to my wee book, the colour I've got is Azurite Blue I think (bad hand writing). The code is P422~6VG7B, but I can't seem to source this anywhere. When I google it, I get a Merc colour, which looks pretty close.

Does anyone know if the Merc blue was a standard for TVR's?

Cheers

I took a gamble on some Merc paint on ebay. It turned out to be a perfect match.
