Reflex Silver Touch Up Paint

[T6USK]

Hi All

When I purchased my Tuscan S, it came with two small plastic pots of paint (both marked up with paint codes - I assume etc), one body colour and the other for the anthracite wheels. Both contents have gone gooey, not liquidy any more. Can anyone suggest a good contact for supplying touch up paint. Don't know whether the reflex colours are easy to mix / match ??

And yes, I do have a scratch to use it on ! (only I know it's there though and not worth a respray just yet !)

Cheers

Chris

So far I had mixed reactions on that...

When I had to have the back of the car resprayed, I first was told that it was almost impossible to match the colour on the Chameleon Blue.

Painter itself said it was one of the easiest colours he'd ever done, due to not having to care about the exact matching of the colours, since it changes all the time anyway.

I'd assume the touch-up pots are cellulose, so you could always get some celly thinners to thin it out a bit?

Try www.chipex.co.uk see what they can do.

Please could you post your body code, I do not remember any Reflex Silver TVR's and will find out what I can for you.

Sorry for nicking the OP's thread, but Potato Muncher, Just out of interest are you able to source touch up paint for reflex purple?

Cheers,

Brad.

Your Body Code should be on the rear panel inside the boot, the plate will also have the chassis no. and engine no.
Also what might help me are the last 4 numbers of your chassis no. as this is the build no.

Here you go :-

Body Code : LA7W
Chassis no : 1206

Your help much appreciated !

LA7W is a VW colour and is called reflex silver, sorry about that, I was thinking flip colour, you should be able to get some paint from any supplier with that code.
