petethepilot Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Hi everyone! I´m considering of painting my Defender 110 over because the old color is kind of boring blue and getting corroded, scratched and dull... so I have (at this moment ) two options: Bonatti Grey, which is very good , timeless and dignified color especially on 110, and the other option is this kind of greyish green, not Tonga Green anyway in my opinion. I really would like to know the name of this color, so does anyone recognize it? I´m not in a hurry, it probably takes months before I can paint her, but I just can´t make up my mind and it´s bothering me! I also like Tangiers Orange very much, but it´s maybe too extrovert, I do hunting and all and it kind of shouts stands out too much from the nature...

landroversforever Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 If it is a colour still in use, it could be Keswick green, that's the other one in use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petethepilot Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 This is Tonga Green Metallic and looks greener to me, although from these pictures one can´t never know... they just look different to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Keswick Green is a solid non metalilic colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarPig Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Could it be Epsom green? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I'm not sure if the last of the TD5s had Epsom green as an option... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petethepilot Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 That car in the picture is 2006, so last Td5´s. And I ment that this looks more greyish to me than the Tonga Green... or is it just because of the light grey grille and lamps surraounds? Isn´t Epsom Green darker green? Maybe someone finds the colors used on year -06 in Defenders... Btw, I would like to have your opinions of that particular color! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveG Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Your first picture is Tonga Green Second Pic is likely to be Galway Green, as it's much darker than Tonga Green. Galway Green is the latest green and is the same colour used on current RR's and Disco's. Here's another pic of a Tonga Green Defender.. more pics here..Tonga Green 90...

ibexman Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Mines a 56 plate and thats Tonga :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petethepilot Posted March 10, 2010 Author Share Posted March 10, 2010 Thank you all, so Tonga Green it is, the name of the color I´m looking for! My wife´s vote is for that, and I´m also leaning towards it. I think it has some elements of the "real Land Rover green" and that timelessness and dignity of the Bonatti Grey combined... So votes, gentlemen, which it´s gonna be?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Bonatti Grey would be my choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
