Daan Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Ok, so I was about to paint my new door top, to match the rest of the car, then I saw this: http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/land-rover/defender/90914/land-rover-creates-one-off-paul-smith-defender Landrover SVO pushed the boundaries again: A defender in 27 colours. Makes my truck look tidy again. Daan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudmonkey Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Good of them to highlight all the rust-prone areas in yellow. Guessing it has a yellow chassis too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat_pending Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 "Land Rover collaborates with British designer Sir Paul Smith to create a bespoke Defender - clad in 27 colours" It looks like it was designed by a 3 year old with a box of crayons!

studmuffin Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Land Rover are clutching at straws to wring out the last bit of revenue that they can from the Defender marque! Why would anybody buy a car painted by Billy and Johnny?? Truly disgusting!! Barry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boydie Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Oh my, my Disco is now trendy I have at least 18 different shades of Epson Green on mine - no two makes of aerosol cans seen to have the exact same colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanuki Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I wonder what the Paul Smith paint-code is for "Electrolytic-corrosion-grey" ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertspark Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I wonder what the Paul Smith paint-code is for "Electrolytic-corrosion-grey" ?? Now there is a good question, how do you order a bit of paint for a touch up? Nice fly on the wall moment during that comedy phone call Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacr2man Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Dont feel embarrassed if you are not aesthetically educated , its not just a matter of bunging some different coloured panels on . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon62 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I think I could just about cope with the inside, then blindfold myself every time on exit/entry.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon_CSK Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Now there is a good question, how do you order a bit of paint for a touch up? Easy pick a colour....any colour...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyn668 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Volkswagen did this years ago with a Polo - was that the Harlequin someone mentioned? Not sure he can call himself a designer by just ordering a random set of colours for each panel and copying a German Eurobox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
