TVR Paint

[greyhulk]

Hi guys, got a few bits on my bodywork id like to tend to, ive found a place that seems to do all the TVR colours in touch ups, sprays or aerosols http://tvrpaint.com/shop/tvr-ash-green-pre-1989/
Referring back to my owners handbook my paint is 'ash green' now theres no code next to it.. but i was just looking on the 'paint code section' on here & theres 3 different ones for ash green (mines also metallic)

I cant figure out which one of the 3 is mine, 2k or aquabase :/
- ASH GREEN A583B 2K
P156 ASH GREEN 0523B 2K
P156 ASH GREEN 0523B AQUABASE

any ideas?


Cheers
Steve

Steve,
Is that just an on-line supplier, or do they have a proper sales counter somewhere? TVR used a multitude of different paint types, I reckon the best course of action would be to take your S along to a specialist paint matching place and get them to... err.... well, match the paint

Here in Stockport we have Colourtone, who do a brilliant job of matching even faded paintwork and supply aerosol, touch up paint, or tins for a full respray.

Evening Glen, they do have a sales counter up Wolverhampton, I guess taking it up to them would be the best bet after all. Not sure of any other places by me in Birmingham that could match up TVR paint

2k refers to the paint being a two pack formulation. Not so good for home spraying as it is poisonous and requires specialist breathing equipment. Aquabase will be a later water based formulation. They should be the same colour as the paint code determines the mix of colours. If you are just looking for an aerosol then a good paint specialist should be able to sort that out. I use Paintstore in Leamington Spa if I need an aerosol mixing. Have you looked on the VIN plate under the bonnet for a paint code?
