Does anybody know how to decipher the TVR Code (P422-2382) for Cooper Green?

I have taken it to halfords to get some touchup paint following other posts on Pistonheads and they don't recognise it? confused

They said there are four shades of Cooper Green on their system with the following refs:

(1) 167
(2) MFA38
(3) PPG004
(4) R2576

Sadly none of these mean anything to me and do not seem to relate to the TVR code? frown

Any help with working out a meaningful paint code would be appreciate.thumbup



Cheers

Contact Nexa here. They took over the ICI Autocolor business, who used to supply TVR paint. When you give them your body-paint code, they will confirm colour and will also be able to let you know a supplier local to you who can mix up the colour you need in touch up, spray or can.

I got mine from Halfords - in my owners manual it is listed as P-168 but on the Halfords system it was either P-167 or P-169 (one either side of the number listed in my manual but I can't remember which way).

It was listed on their system under TVR - there was no need to go to the trouble of looking up other manufacturers paint codes. Its a perfect match too. The name was slightly different (again can't remember) but it was obvious it was the right one.

  • Edited to add mine is also a 1992 V8S.
  • Edited again to add you have a 167 code - thats it I think it is P-167 on Halfords system under TVR.
