steve b Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Welcome to LR4x4 , that's a nice looking 90 you have there . I'd say it could be Arrow Red - common shade around G or H reg cheers Steveb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 What year is it ? have a look on non metallic page of http://www.coachpainting.info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easytiger Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Possibly Military signal red but always difficult to say from a computer screen but you could contact http://www.paintman.co.uk/product-category/paint/landrover-paint-reds/ 01777 710100. I have found these to be very helpful and they sent me a swatch card with a bit of each red on to help identify the colour (mine is Masai red).

Bowie69 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 If it is original, check the VIN plate for the paint code and look it up! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I don't think Land Rover were very good at putting the colour codes on the VIN plates until into the Td5 era, so it may not have one. My vote is for Arrow red as well, but red fades so badly it could be anything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiggles_Biggles Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 Possibly Arrow or Military Signal red and check VIN plate... Got it! It's a 91 plate, 200tdi, 180k miles. Also has slightly differing colour doors, assuming replacements! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushwhacker Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 It's as western says. Funnily enough I went and got an aerosol of it today to do some cappings on a 1990 2.5td commercial. One colour three names simlpe enough I would have thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiggles_Biggles Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 3 names for one colour, useful! Next question... Does it only come in aerosol? Not sure my spraying skills are up to scratch for whole panels! (and thanks all!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
