998/JAE - Estoril Blue Metallic Land-Rover Touch Up Paint

The Look

When you see this color on a Range Rover Sport or a full-size Range Rover, you recognize it immediately. This is the electric, high-energy shade that defined the early SVR performance era. It is deep, rich, and carries a high-performance reputation that refuses to blend into the background. Since your vehicle has been on the road for nearly a decade, the original finish has likely faced its fair share of road grit. Matching that factory pop is vital to keeping the car looking sharp.

Technical Details

This is a complex metallic finish that relies on tiny flakes to reflect light and create that signature glow. Metallic paints can be tricky because if the flakes do not lay down evenly, you end up with dark patches or stripes known as mottling. This happens when the paint is applied too heavily in one spot or the flow is inconsistent. Because this blue is so vibrant, any variation in how those metallic particles settle will show up clearly in the sunlight. Your goal is a uniform layer that lets the flake sit flat across the surface.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Land-Rover Estoril Blue Metallic (check for code 998/JAE), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can find your paint code on the identification sticker located on the driver side door pillar. Once you are ready, test the color on the included card to ensure the shade matches your current finish. When applying, keep the container moving at a steady pace to prevent the blue from pooling. Work in a garage or the shade to ensure a consistent drying time, and apply several thin layers rather than one heavy coat to keep the metallic flakes perfectly aligned.
