According to an excel speadsheet on the TVRCC site the TVR code is PPG044 and the manufacturer colour is 4TVGB

However, talking to 'Gerbil' at Surface and Design last weekend he suggested that he mixed colours differently
from standard so whether that effects the composition of that colour I don't know.

PPG never did spectraflair silver so im not sure where code PPG044 comes from. The code we have at Automedon(specialists my arse) Sports Cars is TVR109 of which i have three litres. Hope this helps

That's why I said 'according to..' I've seen other codes that are wrong as well.

As a thought try asking NTEL as he has a Specraflair Siver Tuscan and I think he's has some spraying done

Last time I had paintwork done was back in 2006 at the factory to rectify a problem with the roof panel.

If any of the above paint codes are entered into the PPG web sites, it does recognise them but returns a message saying "There are no valid Paint Systems."

Hi there Hollowpockets.. I have a spectraflair Tuscan 2 and I need some minor scratches touching up.. Do you (or know of anyone) that has tried this successfully with Spectraflair paint or am I looking at (e.g.) re-painting the whole roof panel.. ?

Cheers,

Cheers,

I am picking my car up on thursday from a full respray, they told me my roof wouldn't match the rest of the car as the spectraflair silver the factory used was dulled down in comparison with what is available to the bodyshops now. So the full thing needed painting. My car is a 2003 though so you'll need to take your car to a bodyshop and let them see it in the flesh as i guess every car is different.

the full re-spray cost an arm and a leg but the car looks better than it ever has done!
