Hi, I'm just preping my car ahead of its full body respray however I'm still undecided on the exact colour. It's currently Moonraker black which I really like, however, I was wondering if there is an even better TVR black? I'd like to keep it a black variation.

I've seen a Nebular black Tamora which looked stunning. Has anyone ever seen a Nebular black Chim or even better got any photos of one?

Any other good blacks for my Chim?

Red ones are faster.
It's a fact (because I replied first).
Rosso pearl tops the pile.
Good luck in your search for a slower colour though biggrin

I like black Chimaeras but I was never able to find a good 500 in that colour. In the end I got one in Starmist Chianti which looks black in most lights but has a dark red that in it which only shows in direct sun.

Lol! I'd love to be able to do this, but it would keep me awake nights trying to decide on colour.

Black is cool though. Looks great when clean, but gets dirty quickly! I haven't seen many black Chims.

Edited to say: Silver ones are clearly faster and look great with SP12 wheels!

Hi ChrisA,

While I have to disagree with the replies so far and say that blue ones are fastest as they are the closest colour to the speed of light (well when it comes to HID bulbs anyway!! ) biglaugh I would also like to point you in the direction of spectraflair Black.
Have seen it on a Tuscan (owned by Tov!E) and it looks stunning, really worth consideration if you want to stick to black.

Imperial Blue is the best colour. Most people who don't own a TVR or own one in another colour often comment on this particular colour.

Not sure how it would look on a chim but reflex charcoal is a stunning colour.
The vid shows it dark green and purple, but i have seen a few and they do look black, until the sunlight hits them and then its a wonderful variety of shades of black, green, purple, and plenty of other colours too.

Enjoy the vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8T3ghpvJkM

OP;
Apologies. I know I started it, but it was an inevitability that someone would I'm afraid.


Everyone Else;
I refer you to my previous statement. readit
