2425 - Obsidian Black Satin Land-Rover Touch Up Paint

The Look

This is the ultimate stealth finish for the modern Range Rover. It avoids the high-gloss, "chauffeur" look of traditional blacks in favor of a muted, velvet-like texture that highlights the vehicle's architectural lines. Because this color is part of the SV Bespoke palette, it carries a level of prestige that signals you aren't driving a standard showroom model. It is designed to look like a solid shadow from a distance, but as you move closer to your car, the metallic depth begins to reveal itself through the satin topcoat.

Technical Details

You are working with a metallic base that is topped with a specialized low-gloss finish. The metallic flakes are extremely fine, which gives the paint its "obsidian" depth, but the satin nature of the clear coat is what makes this repair unique. Unlike a standard gloss paint, you cannot sand or polish a satin finish once it is dry. If you try to buff out a mistake, you will create a permanent shiny spot that clashes with the rest of the panel. The key is to achieve a consistent texture by applying thin, even layers rather than one heavy coat.

Best Practices

You can find your paint code on a sticker located on the driver-side door jamb or occasionally under the hood on the radiator support bar. Before you spray or dab Land-Rover Obsidian Black Satin (check for code 2425), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure the metallic particles are fully suspended. Test the color on the included card to get a feel for the flow and to confirm the matte level matches your car. Work in a cool garage or in the shade, as direct sunlight will shorten the drying time too much and cause the paint to clump. Keep the container moving at all times to avoid pooling, which can make the black look uneven or blotchy.
