Land-Rover Green (LRC367/HBL) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color represents the height of late-eighties British utility and luxury. While the name sounds like a standard military olive, it is actually a deep, sophisticated shade often known as Cypress Green. It was a staple for the Range Rover Classic and the rugged 90 and 110 models during this era. Since your Land Rover has likely seen plenty of sun and dirt over the decades, you will notice that this shade has a natural, earthy quality that helps it blend into the landscape, though it still cleans up remarkably well for the occasional Sunday drive.

Technical Details

Unlike the flat, solid greens found on earlier series vehicles, this is a metallic finish. This means the paint contains tiny flakes that catch the light to give the bodywork depth. Metallics are notorious for mottling-where the flakes clump together and create dark patches or stripes-if applied unevenly. To avoid this, you must ensure the flakes stay suspended in the liquid so they lay down flat on the surface. If they stand up at different angles, the repair will look darker or lighter than the surrounding panel when viewed from the side.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Land-Rover Green (check for code LRC367/HBL), you need to shake the container for at least two full minutes. You can usually find your paint code on a metal plate located under the hood, often near the radiator or the latch. Test the color on the included card first to see how the metallic flakes settle. When applying, keep the container moving in steady, even passes. If you are using a pen or brush for small chips, dab the paint rather than wiping it to keep the metallic distribution consistent. Allow plenty of drying time between thin layers to build up the color properly without sagging.
