Aerosol - mixed to match car not recipe

[Top Gear TVR]

Anyone know where you can get a car match (not a code or standard recipe mix)?

Ideally Norfolk or Suffolk for a minor blemish or two.

Hi Steve,
If it's Mist Blue ( same as mine ) you're after, I got mine mixed at Colourtone in Stockport and the match ( to a sample strip ) was spot on to the car.

They do 400ml aerosols & touch-in pots.

If you want to order some, I could collect it for you & bring it to Barn Farm on Fri 17th.

No connection with them, just a happy customer.

[5.0ltr]

Surface and design matched mine up.

Its defo a friday afternoon mix based loosely on a ford colour, with added loosely.

Recipe mixers get no where near from the code, or even the shades available, its defo a hand mix i need - but old skool is so rare these days.

I have found a company in Brighton, but thats a blxxdy long drive for an aerosol or two! and i dont want to mail my bootlid either!

There must be someone nearer.....

Steve,
I have a foil sample strip which came in the history folder.
If you wish I can post it to you, if you PM me your address.
If it's a match to your car, your mixer man can use that.
Or send it back and I can get Colourtone to mix you some.
If it's not a match, just return it to me.
Either way, I would like it back eventually though!

ETA : It looks a lot bluer in the pic on my phone, than in real life.

Mines a light shade of Crystal Blue glen, code 1812. Ford ppg 2k. A new lead may have found me an answer near the lotus factory in Hethel, just 6 miles from home!

I will confirm when successful!

this evening i was introduced to this idea....interesting and you can put any paint in it and its an aerosol..........this improves my options

Good luck in your search Steve, Hethel sounds promising.

That could be handy for spraying seats and trim re-colouring dye

propellant is a tad dear...........but my monster compressor is a bit of a moisture creator - so this is worth a try i think.

Mending wife's corsa backside today though!, she had a reversing argument with a new fiat 500...........Ouch

Then there's the w124 e320 5 speed auto (the fast-lounge mobile) to wash, photograph and sell!

Then I can get back to TreVoR - is it fit a new shower 1st? I can't remember
