2019 Land-Rover Touch Up Paint (23 OEM Colors)

The 2019 Land-Rover Vibe

By 2019, Land Rover wasn't just building off-roaders; they were building rolling galleries of "Modern Luxury." Whether you were piloting a sleek Velar through the city or taking the Range Rover Sport to the country club, the aesthetic was all about depth and sophistication. Our database clocks in at 23 distinct colors for this year-a real headache for the generic shops, but a playground for us. We're talking about everything from the stoic Carpathian Grey Metallic to the "look-at-me" Madagascar Orange. It was an era of high-end pearls like Seoul Pearl Silver and deep, moody blacks like Farallon Black. If you own one, you know the look: it's supposed to look like liquid glass, right up until the highway starts throwing stones back at you.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the Thin Paint Era. By 2019, those factory robots had become surgically precise-and unfortunately, very stingy. The paint on your Discovery or Evoque is a masterpiece of efficiency, but that means the layers are thinner than a billionaire's patience. You aren't dealing with the chunky lacquer of the 60s or the delaminating "peel-fests" of the 90s. Instead, you're fighting "Robot Efficiency." The clear coat is hard and glossy, but because it's so thin, a single pebble on the I-95 can punch right through to the primer. Once that seal is broken, environmental contaminants start tunneling under the edges. If you see tiny white craters on your Santorini Black hood, that's the robot's ghost telling you it's time for a touch-up before the edge-lift starts.

Restoration Tip

When you're fixing a chip on 2019 factory enamel, the golden rule is: Build, don't blob. Because the factory paint is so thin, if you go in there with a heavy hand and drop a giant bead of paint into a chip, it'll stand out like a sore thumb against that tight, flat factory finish. Use a fine-tipped applicator and apply the color in thin, whisper-quiet layers. Let it dry flat. If you're working with one of the high-metallic shades like Aruba Metallic or Indus Silver, several thin passes will help the flakes lay down correctly so the light hits the repair the same way it hits the rest of the fender. Patience is the only way to beat the robots at their own game.
