I've had a few Tivs, and in the past phoned the factory paint shop for advice on paint suppliers for touching up.

Can't help you with the code I'm afraid

I did a quick search on here... (new search facility is excellent BTW)

There have been a few posts recently about paint codes and I wondered if it was worth making a list/database/excel file.... whatever..., that we could all contribute to for future reference?

I know BB started this on TGP's but I don't know how many codes he collected??

The colour code should be written on the VIN plate. That should be enough to get any paint mixing place started (the colour code is not the whole story - there are often several variations on a particular colour). If there's no code, then they'll most likely be able to match it by using colour samples. There are 2 places near me, both have done this sucessfully for me in the past.
