Where to find Land-Rover color code

How to Find Your Land-Rover's Color Code

Later model Land Rovers have paint codes on the drivers door jamb. Older models usually have them under the front hood on the radiator support. Codes may appear as short alphanumeric strings like LRC961 or HAF; both can refer to the same color on one vehicle. Example: LRC961 HAF corresponds to Epsom Green Clearcoat. Labels may show either LRC961 or HAF. On older cars, locations include both the drivers door jamb and the radiator support.

Your Paint Color Profile

Bronze Green

The Look

This color is the backbone of the brand's identity, carrying a heavy military heritage that defines every Series vehicle and early utility model. Since your Land-Rover has likely spent decades facing the elements, the original finish might look flatter or darker than a fresh coat. It is a deep, functional forest green that lacks any modern shimmer, making it look exactly like a machine meant to cross a continent. Whether you are touching up a classic Series III or a period-correct restoration, this shade is about ruggedness rather than vanity.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, which is a significant advantage for a DIY project. Because there are no metallic flakes or pearls inside the mix, you do not have to worry about the paint looking different from various angles or "striping" if your technique is slightly off. However, solid greens are notorious for pigment settling. If the pigments are not fully integrated, the color will come out looking thin or slightly off-shade. Before you spray or dab Land-Rover Bronze Green (check for code 38500A), you need to shake the container for at least two full minutes to ensure the heavy greens and blacks are perfectly blended.

Best Practices

You will usually find the paint information stamped on a plate located on the radiator support bar under the hood or attached to the bulkhead. On some 1972 models, check the driver's side door jamb for a manufacturer tag. Before you apply any paint to the vehicle, test the color on the included card to ensure the shade matches your current level of finish. If you are using a spray can, keep the container moving in steady, overlapping passes to avoid puddles. For those using a brush or pen, use light layers rather than one heavy glob. This paint has a specific drying time that you must respect; wait at least 15 minutes between coats in a ventilated garage or a spot in the shade to prevent runs.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4” long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find my vehicle’s paint code?

Your paint code is usually found in the driver’s door jamb, trunk, or under the hood. See our Land-Rover Paint Code Guide for detailed instructions.

Will this paint match my car?

Because your Land-Rover is older or uncommon, the most accurate option is custom matching where you mail in a small painted part for a hand match. Our paint technicians usually do a great job matching Land-Rover color code '38500A' but a perfect match cannot be guaranteed.

Do I need primer and clearcoat?

While primer is recommended on bare metal or plastic, clearcoat is essential: it protects the basecoat and restores factory gloss.

How long does shipping take?

Orders are mixed fresh and ship within 3–5 business days. Delivery takes 2–14 days depending on location.

Which touch up product should I choose?

 It depends on the size of the damage:

  • Paint Pen (½ oz) – Best for very small chips and fine scratches.
  • Brush Bottle (2 oz) – Great for medium chips or scratches up to the size of a quarter.
  • Spray Can – Ideal for larger areas and panels.
  • Professional Sizes (Pint, Quart, Gallon) – Designed for full panel and vehicle resprays using spray equipment.

Not sure? If it’s just rock chips or small scratches, start with a Paint Pen.

Can I return my order?

Yes! If there’s a color match issue, we’ll replace the product or give you your money back. You also can return unopened, non-custom accessories for a full refund.

How long will the paint last in storage?

Paint pens and bottles last about a year if stored cool and dry. Spray cans can last several years if the nozzle is cleaned.
