Ha ha, deja vous. Or is it vous dajeh? Sure River will confirm..

Anyway, I too half slaughtered the front engine bay whilst getting the rad out(after going with YOUR recommended rad geezer.will do separate thread on that...).
And after wet 'n' dry papering the scratches, and keying the area with Scotchbrye/bryte, I painted it with VHT black aerosol paint. Available at any motor factors. Don't know what exactly what TVR use though.

Looks better than it did even BEFORE the Tyson type scrap with the rad.

Happy painting BB.

No problemo.

By the way, the Scotchbrye thingy that I used was in the form of a sponge, and NOT the drill attatchment type.
