As above really folks, I have a couple of small marks I need to touch in, the colour is starfire blue metallic, anyone know the parent colour? Or is it a standalone TVR jobby?

Thanks.
Mike.

The colour will be taken from something, a very quick search on google and a load of Nissan links came up, so that might be your general direction I think.

I've not seen that colour on a TVR I believe despite working for a TVR dealer for a few years, like to see a pic if you have a couple?

Are you sure you don't mean Starmist Blue, Mike? Is the paint code (passenger side under the bonnet) P422-4YJ9B?

01366 386608 is the number for Chris Brown, a body shop in Downham Market. He made me a pot last month, colour matched using the paint code. Any good body shop should be able to do you a pot. Mine was about £12 I think. Just give them the exact paint code from your car. Starmist Blue is quite a popular TVR colour, and IMHO the best yes

I think Starfire was associated with a Mica Blue seen on the S range. I had one in that colour.

Big label, passenger side. Compare it with the one I gave you, but whatever the code, give it to the paint supplier.
