Lizzard pete Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Any idea what the paint name or code is on my 86 110. It's never been painted and seams a bit of a strange county to me. Sand looks close so does beige camo on colour charts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkie Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 It looks like it is sand to me. If you contact the company in the link they will send you some colour cards to match it against. https://paintman.co.uk/shop/land-rover-sand-lrc004/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paime Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Can i hijack this thread and ask about the colour of my beastie as well? It's a 2000 Td5. Bodywork prep is starting soon and i'm tempted by the hand painted option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eightpot Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Looks like Zambizi silver. Don't be tempted to hand paint it. At least not in silver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paime Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Excellent, thanks! Project rust starts tomorrow so i'm a bit away from painting yet. Good to know silver doesn't like hand painting though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know silver doesn't like hand painting though. Metalic or mica paint contains flakes which reflect the light, if you brush paint it you get very obvious brush marks - its also a mat finish, the gloss comes from clear laquer coats on top, which again doesn't suit brush painting. You can hand paint (with roller or brush) using enamel paint (1k polyeurethane) in solid colours, if you want to keep it silver it's best to take it to a bodyshop.

Thanks all, you've saved me quite a headache there i think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paime Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I phoned the nice chaps at my local LR dealership, gave them the last 8 digits of my VIN and they've told me mine is Blenheim Silver. @Lizzard pete - give your local stealer a call and hopefully they'll have the info.
