Took a gamble on the above as I didn't want to pay £20-£25 for a touch up pen from TVR, and much to my surprise, it is exactly the same colour. It appears "Cooper" green is derived from the shade of metallic british racing green used by Rover (on the Mini Cooper presumably )

Worth a pop at £3 delivered, I'd say, and it's a fair size pot too.

I don't know what green you have, there were several shades out.

If it's Cureton Green, this is a BMW paint: malachite green (BMW 205)

Any idea what Crystal Verde is?

Rumour is that it is Jag Sea Foam, but that looks lighter to my eyes

Ive just ordered some touchup paint: 97750

JUT, how long did it take for your paint to be delivered?

Bought some off e-bay 10 days ago but nothing on the doorstep yet?
