Still struggling to find the correct paint ID for my car.
I live in Harlow so have had conversations with Leonard Brookes, unfortunately they do not have colour swatches for TVR's, but can mix some of the codes listed in the paint section for example Midnight Blue P422/A576B, which I am looking at as one of a few on a shortlist of possibilities.

However, I did come across this site... https://hdpaintcode.com/index.html

Not sure if it's been punted out before, but lists a whole bunch of Car manufacturers apart from this mark.
May help someone along the line.

I think given most wedges are old these days you be better off getting it scanned vs using a paint code . Will. Be a better match

Yes, I have considered a scan, but there is no one local that can do it. I also appreciate that could have been resprayed in its life, in fact, I am convinced it has.

As you are in Harlow it's not too far to do to Great Chishill, where Drayton Motors are.

They can do a good colour match for you.

They also specialise in fibreglass in case you wanted it sprayed too, and charge reasonable rates.

I had my front end done there for 800 quid (although someone else was paying! ;^)

However you now have to wait until you're out of Tier 4! :-(

Thanks, Adam. That is something to consider. I will bank that until spring.
To be honest Lenoard Brookes can colour match, but want to charge for a qty of paint, that I don't really need at this point. I was more after a touch-up size at the moment.
The TVR Is now laid up for the winter. Even in tier 4 and without the restrictions I could not get out with it. Also, finances are rock bottom, still need to secure a job. Not much hope of that happening. Trying to hang onto the TVR is hard enough, may need to free up assets at some point, already mothballed the daily driver tin (or in my case glass) top, and using the other car that I have.

Cheers
