COLOR CODELRC533/UMQ - Caprice Teal PearlLand-Rover Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color is the quintessential 90s Land Rover aesthetic. It captures the exact moment the Discovery 1 and the Range Rover began their transition from rugged agricultural tools to high-end lifestyle icons. It is a deep, moody teal that can look nearly solid in the evening, but it transforms into a vibrant, multi-dimensional jewel tone the moment the sun hits the mica. Because your vehicle has likely spent years tackling the elements, you will find this shade is surprisingly forgiving; it hides road dust and light oxidation much better than the flatter greens or lighter silvers of the same era.

Technical Details

This is a pearl finish, which means its depth comes from microscopic mica flakes suspended in the paint. These flakes are significantly heavier than the pigment and will settle at the bottom of your container almost immediately. If you do not mix them thoroughly, your repair will look like a flat, dark smudge instead of a shimmering teal. Before you spray or dab Land-Rover Caprice Teal Pearl (check for code LRC533/UMQ), you must shake the container for at least a full minute to wake up those particles. If the flakes aren't floating evenly in the fluid, the color won't catch the light correctly, making the touch-up stand out for the wrong reasons.

Best Practices

You can usually find your paint code on a plate or sticker located under the hood, often near the radiator slam panel or the firewall. Before you begin the actual repair, test the color on the included card to see how the pearl effect reacts to the light in your workspace. When applying the paint, keep the container moving to ensure the mica flakes spread evenly across the surface. Work in a garage or the shade to maintain a consistent drying time. It is always better to apply several thin layers rather than one thick coat; this allows the pearl particles to lay flat and creates a much smoother finish that blends with the original panels.
