Hey guys and girls,

Can anyone tell me the paint code for a Reflex purple (flip-flop) Tuscan 2000 4.0?
Thanks for your help.

Hey mods, can you alter the title please. Typo, but never a true word spoken in jest....

The pain code?

ZABHWC

(FYI: the letter abbreviation is: C = collides / A = air / H = hurts / B = bags / W = when / Z = zero)

Ouch, looking at that thread post I reckon your original title was correct (pain). Hope you get it sorted.

I have spent a significant amount of time trying to get hold of this paint. The code I belive you are after is P417-TKR1.
I spoke to Webbs of Bristol who could not help. They also said the TVR factory could not help. I got colour chips sent through from House of Kolor in the States (at £20), but these were all 2 colour and not right.

Eventually I phoned TVR myself, who said I need to contact my local dealer. I contacted Harrogate Horseless Carriages, who said they can make the paint up themselves.

I ordered a touch up pot, (which probably holds about 3 tippex bottles worth of paint). It arrived promptly the next day and cost £40 all in. Apparently this is expensive for touch up paint, but in the grand scheme of things 40 quid is not a huge price to pay. As with most paints nowadays it will need lacquering on top. The guy who's going to paint mine said there is more than enough in the little pot to be able to use his spray gun, i.e. it's not just a touch up pen's worth.

HHC also said they could make more up if required, but that the best thing to do would then be to call in and get a quote.

I hope this experience helps anyone else trying to get hold of reflex purple touch up paint.

Thanks richman.............

The paint they sent me for my 'Imperial Blue' Tuscan was an exact match.
Paint code should be on the VIN plate in the boot, although some helpfully have part of the info missing
