Land-Rover Batumi Gold (2449) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Batumi Gold represents the modern peak of Land Rover luxury. It arrived as a signature palette choice for the newest generation of the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport, moving away from the loud, brassy golds of the past toward something more akin to liquid silk. On a vehicle with such massive, flat body panels, this color creates a soft glow rather than a harsh reflection. It gives your SUV a regal presence that looks expensive because it is. While it hides light road dust better than a black or navy finish, the sophisticated pigment means that even small scratches stand out when the sun hits the door at the right angle.

Technical Details

This is a complex metallic finish packed with fine-grain flakes that shift in tone depending on your environment. Because it relies on these tiny metallic particles to create its depth, you face the risk of mottling or striping if the paint isn't applied evenly. If the flakes cluster together, the repair will look darker or cloudier than the factory finish. Since your Range Rover likely still has its deep factory luster, matching the orientation of these flakes is the secret to making the repair disappear.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Land-Rover Batumi Gold (check for code 2449), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can usually find your paint code on a sticker located on the driver's side door jamb or under the hood. Once you have the code confirmed, test the color on the included card to ensure the metallic flake density looks right. Whether you are using a nozzle or a brush, keep the container moving to prevent the heavy gold pigments from settling at the bottom. Apply your coats in thin, light layers and give plenty of drying time between them. This patience prevents the metallic particles from "swimming" and sagging, which is the only way to maintain that crisp, high-end factory look in your own garage.
