COLOR CODELRC713 - Wimbledon GreenLand-Rover Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Wimbledon Green is the quintessential British outdoor color. It arrived on the scene during the prime years of the Discovery II, offering a depth that looks at home whether you are parked at a country estate or halfway up a muddy trail. Since your Land Rover has likely spent the last two decades weathering the elements, the original paint might have a softened, mossy undertone. This color is designed to be understated, blending into the landscape rather than screaming for attention.

Technical Details

This is not a simple flat color. It is a pearl finish, which means there are tiny mica flakes suspended in the paint that catch the light and give the green its character. The challenge here is mottling. If the flakes pool together or lay down unevenly, you will end up with dark, cloudy patches that make the repair look like a shadow. Achieving a uniform look depends entirely on your flow and the angle of the nozzle or brush. You want those flakes to spread out evenly to match the factory depth.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Land-Rover Wimbledon Green (check for code LRC713), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can usually find this code on a sticker located on the upper radiator support bar under the hood or tucked inside the driver's door jamb. Since those metallic flakes settle at the bottom of the container, that full minute of mixing is the most important part of the job. Always test the color on the included card before touching your car to ensure the shade matches the current state of your aged clearcoat. While applying, keep the container moving to prevent the paint from heavy-loading in one spot. Give each layer enough drying time in a cool garage or shade so the finish remains crisp and level.
