Land-Rover Trocadero Foxfire Metallic (LRC467/CUH) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Since your Land-Rover has likely spent the last few decades conquering trails or enduring the elements, you are dealing with a color that defines the transition from utility to luxury. This deep, earthy red was a staple for the Range Rover Classic and the early Discovery, offering a sophisticated warmth that looks just as right covered in mud as it does in a driveway. Because these vehicles are now over thirty years old, you should expect your original paint to have softened or faded slightly compared to a fresh batch.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means the paint is packed with tiny flakes that provide its characteristic shimmer and depth. Metallic paints are prone to mottling-a term for when those flakes cluster together and create dark, uneven patches or stripes. This happens if you stay in one spot too long or if the paint is applied too heavily. To prevent this, you must maintain a consistent speed and distance to ensure the flakes lay down flat and even across the repair area.

Best Practices

You can usually find your paint code on a black manufacturer tag located on the upper radiator support bar or the firewall under the hood. Before you spray or dab Land-Rover Trocadero Foxfire Metallic (check for code LRC467/CUH), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This is a heavy-pigment color, and the metallic particles like to settle at the bottom of the container. Always test the color on the included card to check the match against your aged paint before starting. When applying, keep the container moving at all times to avoid pooling. Use several thin layers rather than one heavy coat, allowing for adequate drying time between each pass in a covered garage or shade.
