Matching Colour paint
Discussion
If you are having trouble in finding a matching colour or touch up paint for your TVR here is the answer.
Firstly find the BODY CODE number from under the bonnet- mine is P422 1782B.
The first numbers are the Paint Type (P422)the second is the ICI paint Code.(1782B)
ICI you will now find have ceased in the Automotive paint business but have passed it on to NEXA AUTOCOLOUR.
Now the good news.
Go to www.nexaautocolor.com (24hours a day 7 days a week)
1. Go into the TECHNICAL section on the screen
2. Go into COLOUR ON THE NET and follow the instructions.
You will then finish up with the Colour, the TVR ref, and a Formulation report for say Halfords to mix you up whatever quantity you want.
OR ring them on 01449 771771 and within a minute a very helpful lady will give you the Colour and fax you a Formulation sheet.(mine finished up as Metallic Misty Blue)
Cheers.Hope it helps.

I didn't realise there were different shades of the "Cooper Green" as used by TVR on the S series cars. Anyway I am looking to get some to paint one of those SMTS 1:43 model cars I bought last year and never got round to building! Rich...
You'll need the 1:43 scale version which has smaller pigments to match exactly the model. Getting the matching aerosol is a real pig though...
Nor did I realise all the different shades until I started the search for them!
