Land-Rover Lantau Bronze (2452) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Your Defender or Evoque wears this shade to signal a rugged type of luxury that simple silver cannot match. It is a warm, earthy tone that feels at home on the trail but looks expensive under city lights. Since your Discovery has likely been on the road for a few seasons, you will notice how well this color hides light road dust compared to darker blacks or greys. It is a sophisticated choice for the modern Land-Rover lineup, providing a metallic depth that defines the muscular lines of the vehicle without being loud.

Technical Details

This is a Metallic finish, which means the paint is loaded with tiny particles designed to reflect light at different angles. The main challenge you face is mottling, where the metallic flakes cluster together to create dark patches or stripes. This happens if the paint is applied too heavily or if the tool is held still for too long. Because those flakes are heavy, they want to sink to the bottom of the mixture, which can lead to a color that looks too dark or lacks the proper shimmer if you are not careful.

Best Practices

You can verify your color info on the driver side door jamb or on the radiator support bar under the hood. Before you spray or dab Land-Rover Lantau Bronze (check for code 2452), you need to shake the container for at least a full minute to get those metallic flakes suspended. Test the color on the included card before you move to the vehicle to ensure the metallic density looks right. When you begin the repair in your garage or in the shade, keep the container moving at all times to prevent the flakes from pooling. Give the paint plenty of drying time between light coats to build the color safely.
