COLOR CODELRC970/HOR - Willow Green PearlLand-Rover Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This isn't your typical aggressive, mud-caked military green. This color represents the more sophisticated side of the late-90s Rover era. It's an organic, soft sage that looks just as comfortable parked outside a country manor as it does climbing a trail. Whether you are touching up a Range Rover P38 or a classic Discovery, this hue has a unique way of making these boxy legends look approachable and timeless. Since your vehicle has likely been braving the elements since the late nineties, the original finish might have mellowed a bit, but the depth of the pigment usually holds up well against the sun.

Technical Details

You are dealing with a pearl finish, which means there are tiny mica crystals suspended in the paint. These crystals give the surface its characteristic glow, but they are also heavy and love to sink to the bottom of the container. If you do not mix them well, you will end up with a patchy, inconsistent look that does not catch the light. Because the metallic particles need to lay down flat to match the factory depth, you must maintain a consistent flow and keep the container moving across the surface. If the particles clump together, you will see dark patches that break up the smooth look of the panel.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Land-Rover Willow Green Pearl (check for code LRC970/HOR), you need to shake it for at least sixty seconds to get those pearls moving. You can typically find your code on a black plate located on the radiator support under the hood or tucked inside the driver's side door jamb. Once you are ready to work in your garage or a patch of shade, always test the color on the included card first. When applying the paint, use thin, light layers rather than trying to hide the damage in one go. Give each layer enough drying time to become tacky before adding the next. This prevents the pearl particles from shifting around and ensures they stay exactly where you put them.
