Hi Guys. We've been out of TVR's for a few years now. One car we had was a lovely Reflex Purple Tuscan. From the nice guys at Bespoke TVR at Ware in Hertfordshire. I've bought a 1/43 scale model of a Tuscan Mk 1 . And I want to respray it in Reflex Purple. I've just finished collecting and respraying thirty of the vehicles I've owned since 1973. And If I say so myself. It looks like.
"I've got the hang of it". I know there is a thread that's been running on here for nigh on twenty years, Giving all the codes. I'm ok with that. I just need to know where I can get one of that 30ML touch-up pots made up For Reflex Purple. I don't care if it's 2K, Acrylic, Or good old cellulose. Or even if it's not quite Reflex Purple.
Your help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks, Dave. Ex of Suffolk TVRCC.

Over the years, I've used Brighton Paints for my Cerb, Chimaera, Mini, BMW and DB7. The colour match in each case was excellent.
When I've called them they've been very helpful and don't say, 'its not in the computer database', they will get the old books out to find it. The last 600ml aerosol was around £22 delivered in a couple of days.

Hi. Thanks for that. I will call them Monday. One place I found said the minimum amount was 250ml And that would be just over £100 FFS !!

Hi Guys. Nothing doing, with the reflex purple touch up paint. I've tried all the ones you guys have recommended. Thank you for that. I don't know where to go next.........

Hmmm, I did have an issue finding a chameleon paint some time ago.

https://specialistpaints.com/ could have sorted me out but their minimum quantity was 500ml and it was very expensive! Another owner with some paint left over was kind enough to help me out in the end.
