Land-Rover Siberian Silver Metallic (834/MBP) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Your LR4 or Range Rover was built to look as comfortable in a city center as it is in the mountains, and Siberian Silver is the bridge between those two worlds. This is a crisp, cool-toned silver that lacks the warm beige or champagne tints found in many other metallic options from the early 2010s. It gives the bodywork a technical, industrial edge that highlights the sharp lines of the Range Rover Sport. This shade is a favorite for owners because it hides road salt and dust exceptionally well, making it one of the most forgiving colors to maintain. Since your vehicle has been on the road for a while, you will notice that this silver holds its brilliance effectively, though deep scratches can stand out against the bright metallic surface.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, which means the paint relies on thousands of tiny aluminum flakes to catch and reflect the light. The primary risk with this finish is mottling, which appears as dark, cloudy patches or "tiger stripes" in the silver. This happens because the metallic particles are heavy and will clump together if the paint is applied too heavily or if the container is not mixed properly. If the flakes do not lay down flat and even, the repair will look like a different shade of gray than the rest of the car. You must be careful to avoid heavy "wet" coats that allow the flakes to move around while they dry.

Best Practices

You can usually find your paint code on the manufacturer's sticker located on the driver's side door jamb or under the hood on the radiator support bar. Before you spray or dab Land-Rover Siberian Silver Metallic (check for code 834/MBP), you need to shake the container vigorously for at least one full minute. This is the only way to ensure the metallic flakes are suspended evenly. Test the color on the included card to verify the flake density before touching the vehicle. Whether you are using a nozzle, brush, or pen, always keep the container moving to maintain a consistent flow. Work in a garage or the shade to prevent the paint from drying too fast, and allow for plenty of drying time between thin, light layers.
