Land-Rover Orkney Grey Metallic (949/LJZ) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This shade represents the transition of the modern Land Rover era. Whether it covers your rugged Defender or your sleek Evoque, it strikes a balance between urban luxury and off-road utility. It handles road grime better than black but offers significantly more depth than a standard silver. Because your vehicle has likely spent years in the elements since its 2011-2015 production run, this mid-tone grey remains one of the most forgiving colors for a repair. It has a slight warmth that makes it appear more sophisticated than the colder, harsher greys that preceded it.

Technical Details

You are working with a metallic finish. This means the paint contains tiny flakes that catch the light to create that signature shimmer. These flakes are heavier than the pigment and will settle at the bottom of your container quickly. If you apply the paint too thick or in heavy bursts, the flakes will cluster together and create dark, blotchy patches known as mottling. To avoid these stripes or spots, you must ensure the metallic particles lay flat and uniform across the surface so the light reflects in a single direction.

Best Practices

You will find your paint code on the driver-side door jamb or on the radiator support bar under the hood. Before you spray or dab Land-Rover Orkney Grey Metallic (check for code 949/LJZ), you need to shake the container for at least 60 seconds to suspend the flakes. Test the color on the included card to confirm the match before you touch the vehicle. When applying, keep the container moving at a steady pace to ensure an even distribution of the metallic flake. Work in a garage or the shade to allow for proper drying time between thin layers.
