Land-Rover Lago Grey Pearl (911/LES) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This shade represents a specific era when Land Rover moved toward a more refined, urban aesthetic without losing its rugged identity. If you are looking at your LR2 or Defender, you will notice this grey has a depth that standard flat paints lack. It is a mature, sophisticated choice that hides the dust of a gravel road remarkably well while still looking sharp enough for a city street. Because it was only active for a short window between 2009 and 2011, it remains a distinctive look that sets your vehicle apart from the more common silvers and blacks of that generation.

Technical Details

This is a pearl finish, which means it contains specialized mica flakes designed to catch and reflect light. Unlike a metallic that just sparkles, a pearl finish has a translucent quality that changes character depending on the angle of the sun. The risk here is application density. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the mica flakes will clump together, making the repair look darker or muddier than the rest of the panel. You want to build the color in thin, even layers to ensure the pearl sits correctly and matches the factory depth.

Best Practices

Before you apply Land-Rover Lago Grey Pearl (check for code 911/LES on the driver-side door jamb or the radiator support under the hood), you must shake the container for at least two minutes. Pearl pigments are heavy and settle quickly, so thorough mixing is the only way to get an accurate match. Test the color on the included card before you touch the vehicle to see how the light hits the flakes. When you start the repair, keep the container moving across the surface to prevent pooling. Allow enough drying time between layers so the paint can set firm, ensuring the final finish is crisp and the pearl effect is uniform.
