COLOR CODELRC374/NCN - Cornish CreamLand-Rover Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color is the definitive "heritage" look of the mid-nineties, capturing the era when the brand transitioned from rugged farm tools to luxury status symbols. It is a warm, buttery off-white that feels deeply traditional, especially on the iconic boxy lines of the Defender or the Range Rover Classic. Since your vehicle has likely been on the road since the early nineties, the original finish has almost certainly matured. This cream isn't just a color; it's a statement of age and character. It hides light road dust better than a pure white, but because it is so pale, deep scratches or chips will catch the light and stand out if left untreated.

Technical Details

This is a classic solid finish, meaning there are no metallic flakes or pearl additives to complicate the repair. The main benefit here is consistency; you won't have to worry about the color looking different from various angles or dealing with the "mottling" stripes that plague metallic paints. However, solid pigments are heavy and have a tendency to settle at the bottom of the container. If you don't mix it thoroughly, the shade may come out looking slightly too thin or off-spectrum. Because it is a light color, it offers excellent coverage, often hiding the primer layer in just a couple of passes.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Land-Rover Cornish Cream (check for code LRC374/NCN), you need to shake it for at least 60 seconds to fully integrate those heavy cream pigments. On Land Rovers from this era, you will typically find your paint code stamped on the VIN plate, which is usually located under the bonnet on the radiator support member or near the brake pedal box. Once the area is clean, test the color on the included card to see how well it matches your vehicle's current level of fade. When you begin, keep the container moving to ensure an even distribution. It is always better to apply three thin layers with plenty of drying time between them than to try and cover the damage with one thick, heavy application.
