Paint Colour

[bucksflyfisher]

The colour of my Disco is 'Carrigada' (a metallic green). I have twice ordered touch up sticks using part no RTC6634T. Each time I have received a touch up kit with new part number LRTC6634VT that is clearly not the right shade of green.

I have been advised that the new part no is because LR revised it's parts numbering scheme and that the part number they are supplying is the correct part number.

Has anyone else had same problem and more importantly does anyone know where I can get the right colour? (Halfords do not stock)

I have, I think the same colour LR. LR dealer told me that Carrigada was no longer available as it had been renamed Ardennes Green, they supplied me with RTC 6634 VA which is an aerosol two pack. It is a good match, however, the date on the box is 26-02-02, presumably the date of manufacture.
I also bought some touch up sticks at the same time, don't know where they are now though.

Thanks Kevin. The most recent touchup kit I have received is also named Ardennes Green and the colour on the packaging is clearly different to the colour of my car. I'll give it go though and see what the result is like.

Try your local Autotrader, and look for a paint/body panel supplier (or Yellow Pages). Or ask the local bodyshop where they get their paint from.

They can usually mix up a touch-up stick there and then. I didn't even know what colour mine was, so they matched it for me! :)
