LRC965/JRJ - Biarritz Blue Metallic Land-Rover Touch Up Paint

The Look

Biarritz Blue is a rare gem from the mid-nineties. It served as a flagship shade for both the Discovery and the Range Rover during a decade when Land Rover was transitioning from pure utility to high-end luxury. It is a deep, sophisticated navy that feels appropriate for a rugged expedition or a night in the city. Since your vehicle has been on the road since 1995, the original finish might have aged slightly, but this deep blue remains one of the most respected colors from that era of British design.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, meaning it relies on tiny flakes to reflect light and create depth. These flakes are heavier than the paint itself and tend to sink to the bottom of the container very quickly. If you do not keep the mixture uniform, you might experience mottling. This creates dark, uneven blotches or stripes where the metallic particles have clumped together. Maintaining a consistent rhythm is the only way to ensure the sparkle looks uniform across the repair area.

Best Practices

You can usually find your paint code on the radiator support bar under the hood or on the driver side door pillar. Before you apply Land-Rover Biarritz Blue Metallic (check for code LRC965/JRJ), you must shake the container for at least two full minutes to properly distribute the metallic flakes. Test the color on the included card to ensure the shade matches your current paint. When you begin, keep the container moving in steady passes to avoid heavy buildup in one spot. Allow for ample drying time between each thin layer to prevent the flakes from shifting as the paint sets.
