I need to find either Malcolm Ashworth or Scott Liniker or any other ex factory painters. We have a 78 Taimar and a 79 Taimar that we have very little time to get paint colors picked and find their codes. We know NOTHING about paints other than that is a nice color on that car. We have taking a liking to several TVR colors that we have seen in pics from the early 2000s to the last cars produced but we don't know their names or codes. It would be nice to use the colors from 78 and 79 but they don't pop like the newer colors. We like deep rich reds in metallic or pearl and have heard about "Red Glow Pearl and Nightfire Pearl Red" but can't find any good pics of these colors. We are running out of time to pick the colors and find someone close to us here in the colonies to do the mix and then have a sample spray done as we would like to enter both cars in a car show this winter. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated as we don't want to be forced into just picking a color off the shelf. Help please... We can be reached at

Thanks in advance for any info sent.....

The sprayer at S&D is Malcolm Ashworth so I assume the one your after. My Tuscan Convertible is red glow...I'll e-mail you some photos later today. In fact its actually at S&D for a front end respray at the moment.
Malcolm is Potato Muncher on Piston Heads. He'll see this thread, comes on quite often giving advice.

I can get in touch with Scott Linaker if you need him. Also Gerbil (the paint god) might be worth talking to.
