COLOR CODE761 EMC - Tangiers OrangeLand-Rover Touch-Up Paint

The Look

You are holding the definitive shade of adventure. This color gained its fame through the grueling G4 Challenge, where Range Rovers and Discoveries were dropped into the world's harshest terrain to prove their mettle. It is a loud, unapologetic orange that looks best when it is caked in dried mud or climbing a rock face. Since your vehicle has likely seen its fair share of sun and trail over the last two decades, do not be surprised if the existing paint has shifted slightly toward a lighter, flatter tone. This pigment was built for visibility, not for blending into the background of a suburban driveway.

Technical Details

This is a straight solid finish, which is excellent news for your repair project. Because there are no metallic flakes or pearl additives to worry about, you do not have to fret over the orientation of the particles or "tiger stripes" appearing in your work. The challenge with a solid vibrant orange like this is its opacity. Bright oranges are notoriously translucent, meaning the color of the surface underneath will change the final result. If you are covering a dark scratch or a grey primer, you will need several thin layers to build up the true saturation. If you rush it and apply one thick coat, the finish will look muddy and lose that signature punch.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Land-Rover Tangiers Orange (check for code 761 EMC), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure the heavy pigments are fully suspended. You can usually find your paint code on a plate located under the hood on the radiator support bar or inside the driver's side door jamb. Once you have located the code and prepped the surface, test the color on the included card to see how it matches your current level of fade. When you move to the vehicle, keep the container moving at all times to avoid pooling. Allow plenty of drying time between your light layers, as this helps the orange pigment stay vibrant and prevents the paint from sagging.
