COLOR CODE2482 - Amethyst Grey-PurpleLand-Rover Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This is an SV Ultra Metallic color that behaves like a chameleon on the newest Range Rover and Range Rover Sport. In the shade of your garage, the finish appears as a deep, moody charcoal. Once you move the car into the light, the violet and blue flakes emerge from the grey base. It has a regal character that changes with the time of day, making the large panels of your Land Rover look like they have a custom liquid metal finish.

Technical Details

This finish relies on a complex mix of metallic flakes to create its depth. If the paint is applied too heavy, those flakes sink and the purple disappears into a dark, muddy grey. This creates shadows or stripes that ruin the factory look. You want to build the color with light layers so the metallic particles stay near the surface. Because the purple pigment is so specific, getting the flake to lay flat is the difference between a professional repair and a noticeable dark spot.

Best Practices

You can find your paint code on the door jamb or under the hood on the radiator support bar. Before you spray or dab Land-Rover Amethyst Grey-Purple (check for code 2482), you need to shake it for a full 60 seconds. This is the only way to lift the heavy metallic flakes off the bottom of the container. Test the color on the included card to confirm the mix is consistent. As you apply the paint, keep the container moving to prevent the pigment from pooling. Give each layer plenty of drying time so the metallic particles have a chance to set before you add the next coat.
