Anyone know what the colour is called (or paint code) that is on Peter Wheelers racing Tuscan (dark green/purple flip) as I am thinking of having my car done in the same colour

Cheers

I think it might be the reflex green, not sure though. I know the paint costs a lot of money though, it something like £1000 a litre or equally silly. I wanted my S done but was quoted about £5000 for it in total, I know you probably won’t pay much for the labour but the materials are still a bit pricey.

I have thought for a long time that this would suit the S series. I had this confirmed when I saw PW at Rockingham last year and again at Snetterton. Looked excellent on that shape car which of course the S is based on, loosely....

It is reflex green. My wife asked PW when she spoke to him at Coombe the other week.
Although he did um and ahh about it for a minute or 2!

I think Luca Brazzi's Tuscan is the same colour, I think there is a pic on his profile.

Thanks for the info guys, I can get the paint (probably most others too) for a LOT less than the RRP

Can you get some for others? Maybe a bulk order?

Are! LEEBEE, a new paint job! What do you do about the inside of all the engine etc, mine's coming up for a paint job soon and I assumed you would have to have it the same colour, or nearly the same as it might not look right if its to much of a change. I thought about having the same dark blue but having it mixed with some extra metal flake to brighten it up a bit,what do you think.

Not sure how you would go about it but I plan to remove the body and ship it to my paint guy whilst I am modifiying the chassis/drivetrain.Can probably get the paint for anyone but will have to check, will probably offer this as another service

Cheers
