When looking at FFRR pricing, Metallic is free and premium metallic is $1875 but, then you can have the SVO paint which starts at $8500 up to $23,150 and some POA.

It's interesting that the Disco Sport paint pricing is a little over half the price of its big brother.

Hopefully the Defender paint pricing is similar to the DS.

Some of those prices are outrageous.

Metallic paint on the last van we bought was $550 extra[bigwhistle]

I bet the quality isn’t as good as LR,but the quantity per vehicle at a guess would be more.

Yeah, it is exy, but there is no doubt that it is good quality. It seems to be more resilient to scratches etc. than other manufacturers for what I can tell.


I still think they are having a lend at those prices though.

Last paint job I paid for was a new coat for the 101 - $12.50 for a 1 litre tin of ‘Peppercorn’ outdoor acrylic from Bunnings - enough to do the whole vehicle. 👍😊

You guys are getting ripped off... 😁😉😇

You might be onto a winner there!

I wonder if they'll consider adding that one to their price list...

Yulong White Premium Metallic.........$4110.00
Peppercorn Acrylic..............................$12.50

Perfect![biggrin][thumbsupbig]
