Cascade Indigo paint touchups

[Cascade360]

My Tuscan had a respray before I got it, I think in 2018, though for some reason there is no paperwork regarding the respray in the file. It was apparently done by Surface and Design, who are now shut, and Str8Six have had no luck in identifying the paint code. They told me when I bought it that it was not painted in original Cascade Indigo paint (which is now ruinously expensive), but rather an aftermarket version of it.

I have found this online - https://www.specialistpaints.com/products/tvr-casc... - but no idea if it is the same paint.

The paint appears to be pretty soft, so although it was immaculate when I picked it up 5000 miles ago it is now peppered with stone chips at the front! This is inevitable and I can live with it, but there is one stone chip above the light cluster which has broken the paint in such a way that I now have a chip about the size of a 5p piece. I also have some minor damage to a door sill (looks like a passenger has caught it with something) and a couple of chips by the boot (one caused by me with the roof, one was there when I got it). I would quite like to get this sorted, but especially the chip at the front that looks like it could get worse if water got underneath etc.

Anyone have any idea (i) if it is even possible to do localised repairs on cascade indigo and (ii) how best to go about matching the paint?

I recall reading somewhere that some of the folks from S&D moved to the company next door Lawfield and Abbott. https://lawfieldandabbott.com

I imagine it would be worth a call to them.


My reflex green is on the original paint and it's peppered with stone chips...maybe a trait of these reflex paints?!

I have same car, same colour. I have some left over paint in my garage from specialist paints. I think they call it cascade purple to confuse matters. I'll double check.

Snap!

Was yours resprayed recently or did you use the paint for touch ups?

Had panels repainted - Carizma in Melton Mowbray Leicestershire - good guys. match is pretty good.

Have touched up a few bits using touch-up. The key is to lay it in the same direction as the original so it looks the correct colour for the given viewing angle if that makes sense.
