COLOR CODE1AC/MEN/863 - Indus Silver MetallicLand-Rover Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Indus Silver is a crisp, technical finish that feels more like machined aluminum than jewelry. It was a staple for the Discovery Sport and Range Rover Sport because it highlights the sharp, architectural lines of the body without the maintenance headache of a darker color. If you drive an Evoque or an LR4 in this shade, you already know its secret: it hides road salt and light dust better than almost anything else in the lineup. It is a cool-toned silver that stays looking fresh long after a black or navy car has started to look tired.

Technical Details

This is a high-content metallic finish, which means your repair involves managing thousands of microscopic flakes. Because the flakes are so reflective, they are sensitive to how they land on the surface. If you apply the paint too thick, the flakes will sink and clump together, creating dark patches that look like shadows or bruises on the panel. You want a consistent, even distribution so that the repair catches the light at the same angle as the rest of your door or fender.

Best Practices

Your paint code label is usually tucked inside the driver's side door jamb or located on the radiator support bar under the hood. Before you spray or dab Land-Rover Indus Silver Metallic (check for code 1AC/MEN/863), you need to shake the container for a full sixty seconds to get those metallic particles off the bottom. Test the color on the included card to see how the light reacts before moving to the car. To prevent the silver from looking blotchy, keep the container moving across the area in thin, light passes. Give the surface plenty of drying time between layers to let the finish set properly.
