COLOR CODE16514 - Marine BlueLand-Rover Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Marine Blue is the definition of a legacy color. It dressed almost every utility model in the fleet for decades, but by 1981, it was the signature look for the final Series III models and the emerging 110. This is not a flashy showroom blue; it is a deep, teal-adjacent navy that feels purposeful and rugged. Because your vehicle has likely been on the road for over forty years, the original paint has probably aged into a soft, chalky finish. This weathering is a hallmark of the brand, but it means your fresh repair will likely look much deeper and more saturated than the sun-bleached panels surrounding it.

Technical Details

This is a pure solid finish with zero metallic flakes or pearls. While the lack of metal particles makes color matching easier in your garage or shade, solid dark blues are notorious for highlighting surface imperfections. Without the distraction of metallic sparkle, the gloss will reveal every sanding mark or dent underneath. The major benefit here is the simplicity of the repair. You do not have to worry about the angle of the light or the direction of the application. You are simply laying down deep, consistent pigment that provides excellent coverage.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Land-Rover Marine Blue (check for code 16514), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can typically find your identification plate on the bulkhead inside the engine bay or occasionally on the door jamb. To ensure the best result, test the color on the included card first to see how it interacts with the current patina of your car. Whether you use a brush or a nozzle, keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling in one spot. Let each layer sit for a full drying time before you decide to add more coverage.
