Hi All,
Can someone please do me a favour and paintbox my Tuscan Formula Red.
Thinking of a respray colour change and red is stuck in my mind. Will need to change the blue roof but needs sorting anyway.



Thanks,
Tony.

Hi B'stard Child, looks very nice.
Is it yours ?
I'm looking for a colour that's not going to show all the spidery scratches.

Thanks

It was at the Sunday Service and no it's not mine but it's not helping my itch that I want to scratch ie own a TVR

Sounds like your car needs a proper compound rather than a respray.

Whoosh Parrot thingy.
Don't know what you mean by proper compound confused
Are you talking about the finish clear coat being too soft ?

Polishing using a machine polisher and a cutting compound - removes all of the fine swirls/scratches as long as it's done properly and you look after the paint afterwards

Yes, I'm with you on that and I've had her detailed more than once.
The problem is that some colours show these marks far more than others.
It always seems that I only have to go for a drive after the detailing and there are new marks all over the bodywork again.

On my previous Tuscan you couldn't see any marks.
