Sorry but I do not have this sticker...
I only have the one where are writte che vehicle code, the body code and so on...
The number usually begins with a "P" (my paint code is P422-KV54).
There is a list of TVR paint codes here:
http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...
Thanks everyone...
My body code is: P422-B519B
(I also have the famous sticker, but It is hidden by the enormous tube of the volumetric compressor and I didn't see it )
Now, Which colour is it ?
I searched inside the table of colours but didn't find this particular code
Where do you think I can buy the paint ? I have to repaint a little piece of the car brecause of a Bas#@#@#rd sidewalk
In the list I've found only these colors:
P155 CRYSTAL BLACK B519B 2K
P155 CRYSTAL BLACK B519B AQUABASE
That have the B519B code but no P422 prefix.....
Using Standox search engine I've found this:
category : Passenger car
car maker : TVR
code : P422/0917
color : NERO BLACK-MET.
from-to : 1988-1988
panel : 61093
paint system : Basislack
formula date : 10.02.93
I don't understand which is correct....

I honestly wouldn't try to do it yourself - no offence but you'll make a right bodge of it - its metallic which doesn't touch up well, and its black which is even worse for showing up imperfections. I'd get a body shop to do it who know how to paint fibreglass.
You have a duty with such a rare car!

OK maybe I was slightly harsh here - winding back a bit I guess you may as well give it a try then if it looks bad get a body shop to sort it out! You have a duty with such a rare car!

You are perfectly right!
I would NEVER do It by myself...
Certainly I'll take the car to my body shop (the one who takes care of my other cars) and he will to the job...
My only doubt was that he told me that he didn't know which colour was this...
So I asked to you as experts
I think that with the PPG code he'll be able to find the right paint, am I correct ?

My bodyshop has a device to scan the colour of a sample (your car). With the results of the scan they can reproduce a paint with an exact colour match. Maybe your bodyshop has something similar.
Br, Han
Yes he has this scanner... But I'm wondering about the metallic particles...Br, Han
These are different from any paint I've seen, they are bigger than normal...
I need the exact colour code to tell him
your paint code is B519B which is a NEXA formely ICI paint code. so your repairer should try and find a NEXA supplier. a downside now in the repair trade is most paint can now only be supplied in waterbase and your car will have been painted in solvent paint. this can mean there will be a difference in colour match, the age of your car and if its had paintwork before can also affect the colour match.
