    Retouching Paint

    Owning a LandRover can be difficult. I looked around today for some retouch paint for my Freelander 1 and boy, is it difficult. A well known Four Wheel drive place here in Newcastle was of some help and gave me a Product number, and advised me to visit a genuine LandRover Dealer for the paint.
    I then visited a parts relacement place and they had quite an extensive range of paint retouching. But nothing for my model LandRover.
    All I need is a touch up pen for minor scratches on my 2001, Freelander.
    The vehicle's colour is White/Gold and the Paint number is 618. The LandRover product number is STC3251VT, so if anybody can suggest a dealer in the Newcastle area, would be much appreciated.!!

    Thanks for that Woko, I was already aware of them, will visit them later if I can't source it elsewhere. I believe the colour is no longer available and I am checking sources in the UK!!

    My Freelander is also White Gold but I have never seen pen style touch up paint for it. I had one for my Agean Blue D1 but the colour was always slightly different and often more noticeable that the mark. The other point is that light marks rarely go through to the colour so often clear touch up paint is needed (any colour touchup will need clear over it anyway). Also with white gold you may just get away with clear anyway.

    Garry, I was mainly looking at touching up scratches around the doors, on the edges just to tidy the vehicle up a bit!!!

    Autobarn can mix you a can of touch up paint from the paint code. They may be able to do pens as well.

    I got some touch up paint from Autobarn for my D3. It comes with a little brush and matched perfectly.

    Touch up kit has arrived, it comes in two small bottles, one is the actual colour and the other is a clear lacquer overcoat. The match is spot on, as you would expect, being a genuine LandRover product. There is a little brush in each bottle.
