Land-Rover Firenze Red Pearl (1AF/CAH/868) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Firenze Red is the punchy, vibrant soul of the Land Rover lineup. While most SUVs on the road hide in shades of gray or black, this color gives models like the Evoque and Range Rover Sport a high-energy, premium presence. Since your Discovery Sport or LR4 has likely been on the road since the 2017 to 2022 window, you have probably noticed how this red stays deep and rich even when the car is not perfectly clean. It is a sophisticated choice that balances the rugged heritage of the brand with a modern, high-gloss finish that refuses to fade into the background.

Technical Details

This is a pearl finish, which means it relies on tiny mica flakes to create its depth and glow. Unlike a solid red, these flakes can be temperamental. This specific paint is often a low hider, meaning it may take a few extra layers to fully cover the primer underneath. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the metallic particles will bunch together and create dark, muddy patches known as mottling. To get that factory glow, you must ensure the flakes lay down flat and even so the light bounces off the surface correctly.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Land-Rover Firenze Red Pearl (check for code 1AF/CAH/868), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can usually find your paint code on the driver's side door jamb or on a metal plate under the hood near the radiator. Test the color on the included card to confirm the match before you touch the vehicle. Work in a cool garage or the shade to keep the surface temperature down. Whether you use a nozzle or a brush, keep the container moving to maintain a steady flow. Apply thin, light layers rather than one heavy coat. This prevents the pearl flakes from clumping and gives you a much better match. Give each layer plenty of drying time so the finish sets properly before you apply the next one.
