Exmoor Beast Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 TVR I could almost follow Jon Staff to the darkside, wouldn't this be a joy to own, even just to start it up and sit next to it on a sunny day listening to it drinking fuel, never mind driving it. If anyone here buys it can I have a go please? Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mr_wuffles Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 That paint is something crazy like £600 a litre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Humphreys Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 That paint is something crazy like £600 a litre I think its called "Parsect" paint, it changes colour as the light hits it from a diffrant angle. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 The eyeball-searing red paint job on some of the Autobiog Range Rover vehicles is apparently a £10,000 option.... Can't remember what the colour was called but I saw one at SV when I got to have a look around there a few years ago with a mate who worked for LR, and it was a fantastic colour. You'd be gutted if you scratched it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bull Bar Cowboy Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 IIRC ……… thats Chomeaflair paint ……… and its about £250 per litre ………. but yes, depending upon manufacturer, some of that stuff used to be £600 - £800 per litre when it was first released . Cant say I like it very much and painters bloody hate the stuff Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Question: how the F do you colour match a paint that changes colour when you need to do a crash repair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 I have a mate that painted his moped that colour his step son is a sprayer on F1 & indy cars so he has all sorts of odd colours paints lying around in his spray shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbocharger Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 There's a bus in Hong Kong in flip-paint, looks about the same colour and it showed every spot weld, rivet and ripple... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bull Bar Cowboy Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Stephen, I just called my son and asked him………….. He tells me it’s a bit of a lottery to match and you would normally paint the whole side of a car for a wing or door repair. The paint actually is green when its wet and changes to chromaflair as its baked. Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BogMonster Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Spose you can just say "no its meant to be a different colour to the next panel, that's the whole idea" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
