near inpossible to match, my Griff used to be Rosso and TVR could not match as it was faded. Also they had stopped doing rosso pearl so when it was time to sort the stone chips out I went for a full respray and Red Glow Pearl which is slightly darker and does not fade as bad as the rosso. xspenive but well worth it.

Me too on my Chim. I had a long chat with Gerbil at the factory about matching Rosso Pearl, with the upshot being that a match could not be guaranteed. They made a few versions of Rosso Pearl, improving the wear each time, but when my neighbour reversed into my car, I decided to get a full respray in Red Glow, which is lovely!

Iv recently had my bonnet resprayed and perfectly matched and my Griff is Rosso Pearl.

The chap who organised it is Neil Garner Performance Engineering based near me in Kemble in Wilts. Drop him a line - he is ngr on PH or you could bell him on 01666 577449. Nice bloke, knows his stuff too (ex Renault and Arrows F1 team mechanic)

cheers

I had a rosso red-2 cerb, A nightmare to match up. As you said the paint is applied and from what I've been told a red lacquer is then applied. If it's faded you might as well have a complete respray. I got some paint from the factory but now your guess is as good as mine. Try Gerbil thats your man.
