Paint Matching

[Jappo]

Hi all, having major problems matching the paint on my Sagaris. The only reference to the paint on the build sheets/history is that it is GTS Blue Pearlescent. I put it in for a stone chip job (and also to rectify the ding I gave one of the front wings) and it has been away now for three weeks. TVR Centre have the car at Hilton Coachworks who tell me that at the time my car was built the paint was being sourced from Sherwin Williams in Italy and that no-one can provide a paint code and they can't match it manually.

I seem to be having some terrible luck with this car having had lunched synchro and then the dashboard ECU being held up by TNT (I'm stil running a T350 unit with an extra 2,500 miles on the clock) - both of which rejected under TVRs Warranty - and I'm at my wits end.

Anyone know of the Sherwin Williams connection? Can anyone offer any help at all, I believe Gerbil has already been conculted in this one and we've drawn a blank.

AAAArrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

If Gerbil doesn't spot this first then email him through his profile.

He is the Paint God - has also set up I believe a body/paint shop now so will I am sure be able to assist.

Nice colour,same as my 2003 Tuscan.I made a point of getting some touch-up paint
shortly after buying it.

It's a Chrysler paint - GTS 'Viper' blue pearl.

The can says "CODE SBE VIPER GTS BLUE P.C.(paint code?)4864082"

Don't bank on it but I hope this helps.
