Land-Rover Arran (LRC433/SUB) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color is the definitive aesthetic for the rugged, utilitarian 1992 lineup. It has an earthy, sand-inspired personality that feels right at home on a dusty trail or a coastal road. Because this finish was primarily seen on the Defender and Range Rover Classic during a very specific window of production, it carries a heavy dose of nostalgia. It is a functional shade that hides light road dust and dried mud quite well, though it will certainly highlight any oil or grease spills. Since your vehicle has likely spent decades in the sun, the original finish has probably matured, so your touch-up work will focus on blending into that seasoned character.

Technical Details

This is a Solid finish. Unlike more modern options, there are no metallic flakes or pearl pigments hiding in the mix. This makes your job easier because you do not have to worry about "mottling" or the flakes standing up at different angles. The challenge with a solid beige like this is the thickness. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the pigment can appear slightly darker or more saturated than the surrounding area. Because the surface is likely over thirty years old, the existing paint may have a slight chalky texture or yellowing from UV exposure, so cleaning the area thoroughly is your first priority.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Land-Rover Arran (check for code LRC433/SUB), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure the pigments are fully integrated. You will typically find your paint code on a black metal plate located on the radiator support bar under the hood or occasionally on the inner wing. Always test the color on the included card first to see how it looks once it is dry. When you begin the repair in your Garage or in the Shade, keep the container moving in steady, even passes. Avoid stopping the Flow over any one spot, as this prevents the paint from pooling and ensures the Drying time remains consistent across the panel.
