Land-Rover Ardennes Green Metallic (LRC413/HUL) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This shade is the definitive costume of the 1990s Range Rover Classic and the original Discovery. It represents the era when Land Rover transitioned from the flat, military greens of the past toward a refined aesthetic fit for a country estate. Ardennes Green is a deep, moody forest tone that feels substantial and heavy. Since your vehicle has spent three decades facing the sun and the mud, the original finish often develops a character that is unique to its history. This color does more than cover a panel; it restores the regal, adventurous identity of a 90s icon.

Technical Details

You are working with a metallic finish, which means the paint contains tiny flakes that provide the signature shimmer. Metallics require a light touch because heavy layers cause the flakes to bunch together or sink. This creates a phenomenon called mottling, where dark, cloudy patches appear on the surface. The goal is an even distribution where the flakes lay flat to catch the light. Because the clear coat on these older models is often thin or weathered, achieving a smooth, level surface is the secret to making your repair vanish into the surrounding metal.

Best Practices

Your paint information sits on a plate found on the radiator cowl under the hood or along the driver's side door pillar. Before you spray or dab Land-Rover Ardennes Green Metallic (check for code LRC413/HUL), shake the container for at least two full minutes to wake up those metallic particles. Test the color on the included card to see how it sits against your original finish. When applying, keep the container moving in consistent passes to prevent the paint from pooling in one spot. Respect the drying time between layers so the finish remains crisp and the flakes stay in place.
