COLOR CODE2409 - Eiger GreyLand-Rover Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Eiger Grey is the architectural backbone of the modern Land-Rover lineup. It carries a heavy, industrial weight that grounds a rugged Defender just as well as it sharpens the lines of an Evoque. This color is a high-performance neutral; it is darker than a standard silver but lighter than the charcoal tones of Carpathian Grey. Because it mimics the color of road grime and dried salt, it is exceptionally forgiving for drivers who prefer the trail to the car wash. Whether it is on a Discovery Sport or a full-sized Discovery, this shade maintains a professional, "machined" appearance even when the vehicle is hard at work.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means the paint is packed with microscopic flakes that catch the light to create depth. Metallic paints are temperamental because those flakes want to settle at the bottom of the container or bunch together during application. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, you will see mottling-dark, cloudy patches where the metallic particles have crowded together. To keep the finish even and prevent the repair from looking like a shadow, you must use thin, light layers. This allows the flakes to lay flat and reflect light in a uniform direction.

Best Practices

You can find your paint code on the driver's side door jamb or on the radiator support bar under the hood. Before you spray or dab Land-Rover Eiger Grey (check for code 2409), you need to shake it for at least 60 seconds to fully suspend the metallic particles. Work in a garage or the shade to ensure the paint does not dry mid-stroke. Test the color on the included card to verify the match before touching the car. When applying, keep the container moving to ensure a steady flow and prevent puddling. Give the paint plenty of drying time between coats to ensure the metallic effect stays crisp and clear.
