Your Paint Color Profile

BLVC148 - Tara Green Metallic

The Look

1978 was a specific vibe. This green captures it. It is deep, earthy, and unapologetically British. A one-year wonder. It graced everything from the classic Mini to the rugged MGB. It doesn't scream for attention. It sits back with a confident, metallic glow. If you want that late-seventies Leyland aesthetic, this is the only way to get it.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish. That changes the game. Thousands of tiny flakes live inside that liquid. They need to stand up straight to catch the light. If you apply it too heavy, the flakes drown. The color turns dark. It looks muddy. Before you spray or dab BMC Tara Green Metallic (check for code BLVC148), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. Listen for the mixing ball. It has to be perfect.

Best Practices

Find your paint code on the VIN or commission plate under the hood. Check the bulkhead or the inner wing. Work in a cool Garage or the Shade. Avoid the sun. It ruins the flow. Test the color on the included card to verify the match. Apply light, thin layers. Do not rush. Keep the container moving to prevent the metal flakes from bunching up. Give it a few minutes of drying time between coats. Patience saves the finish.

ensuring the right match

How to Find Your BMC's Color Code

BMC can be contacted to determine the paint color code. If a color code is not available, the alternative is the PPG or Dupont (Axalta) paint formula number. Color identification therefore comes either from BMC determining a code or from the PPG or Dupont (Axalta) paint formula number.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4" long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.
