Cerbera Paint Code

[MackemPete]

Any idea whether this is a TVR colour or sourced from another manufacturer?

The code is R2744 and the pic on my profile is the car in question, though it seems to go to a lighter shade of blue in bright sunlight and almost to purple at night?

cheers

Don't know if you're a TVRCC member but in the 'colours' area there is an Excel speadsheet of what is described as the full range of colours available on a TVR and if it isn't there it's bespoke.
Unfortunatly your code is not on that list.....

I'd suggest you go to a reputable spray comapny in your area and try to get them to match it or you might also try PM'ing 'Gerbil' on here who used to be the paintshop forman at TVR.

Looks like the same colour as mine. Paint code in my handbook is actually 189 which is listed as Imperial Blue.

It's got a fair amount of red flakes in the paint which give it that purple tint when the light fades. Not certain if that's a stock Ford colour though.

Try Jason at the TVR Bodyshop [e-mail] he might be able to help.

I found this thread:

and emailed peppe. he confirmed that it is FORD imperial blue as used on the Ford racing pumas, cosworths etc.

I'll get a touch up kit and post the results

cheers fellas
