Land rover Color
Posted by Grootfaan on Friday, January 8, 2010 2:07 AM

Hi There

I'm not a regular car modeler and I'm busy with an old land rover and would like to know the correct model paint match for that beige color they came out with. I'm not sure what year model it is but it is a diecast model i'm restoring for someone and he wants it in the original color it came from the factory.

Would appreciate any advice.

Thanx

It would depend on what year / series the landrover is - I would imagine it would be a Series I (1948 > 1958), or Series II (1958 > 1961). The most likley colour from what you are describing will be either Sand or Limestone or possibly Arizona Tan.

This link will help you decide which model it is http://www.paintman.co.uk/paint-colour-chart-series-1.html , although Sand is missing from the samples - this link gives good liknesses of the most likley colours http://www.stephen.hull.btinternet.co.uk/tekaloid.html (scroll down - Sand & Limestone are marked with Landrover). this gives you some usefull info http://www.expeditionlandrover.info/Series_Land_Rover_paint.html & as always, Wikipedia is usefull http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_Rover_Series .

It is most likley Sand;

Thanks for the links. I determined that it is a 90-110 and the color is limestone. Looks like tamiya buff would be more or less correct. Let me know if there is a more accurate color in model paint.

 

Thanks again

Paint it in light green and white! It's nice too!

Which model do you have? and scale?
