Land Rover Paint Code Tips
The quirks worth knowing before you order paint for a Land Rover.
Land Rover and Jaguar share the JLR paint code system — codes are often issued to both brands.
Many Land Rover colors are tri-coat or 'Premium Palette' finishes that require a JLR-approved body shop for an exact match.
On older Discovery and Defender, the plate may be in the engine bay rather than the door jamb.
Land Rover Sticker Missing or Faded? Use the VIN.
Door jamb stickers fade in the sun, get peeled during detailing, or disappear when a door is replaced after a collision. When the Land Rover label is gone, the VIN is the reliable way back to the factory paint code.
Every Land Rover build record carries the factory paint code, locked to the VIN at manufacture. Our free VIN check pulls that record so you can order touch-up, brief a body shop, or verify the current color matches the factory original.
Buying a used Land Rover? If the current color doesn't match the factory code, the car was repainted — worth an accident history check to find out why.

No sticker needed — the factory code comes straight from the build record.
What to Do With Your Land Rover Paint Code
Once you have the code, here's how to put it to work.
Order touch-up paint
Give the code to a Land Roverparts counter or a touch-up supplier. For pearl/metallic finishes, ask for the matching base + clear so the repair doesn't flatten out.
Save it for later
Photograph the Land Rover sticker in good light and store it with your documents. The code stays the same for the life of the car — no more trips back to the driveway.

Land Rover Paint Code — Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the paint code on a Land Rover?+
On a Land Rover, the paint code is at the Driver-side B-pillar or door jamb — vehicle ID plate. Look for the label marked "Paint Code (3- or 4-character)". If that sticker is faded or missing, check engine bay on the slam panel (older defender, discovery) or inside the glove box on range rover sport and velar.
What does a Land Rover paint code look like?+
Letter + digits (Jaguar Land Rover system). The typical pattern is Letter + 3 digits (e.g., 1AG, 867). For example, 1AG is Fuji White, and 867 is Santorini Black Metallic.
Can I find my Land Rover paint code with just the VIN?+
Yes. The factory paint code is recorded against the VIN in Land Rover's build database, so a VIN-based lookup returns the original color code even when the physical door jamb sticker is damaged, faded, or was replaced during repair. Enter your VIN in the form above.
What is the difference between the Land Rover paint code and the color name?+
The color name (e.g., "Fuji White") is marketing copy that Land Rover may reuse across model years with small formula changes. The paint code (1AG) is tied to one specific formulation — it is what a paint supplier needs to mix an exact match.
How do I use my Land Rover paint code for touch-up?+
Give the code — not the color name — to any paint supplier, dealer parts counter, or body shop. They mix to the code. For pearl or tri-coat Land Rover finishes, a single touch-up pen won't match the depth; those need a base + mid-coat + clear process.
My Land Rover was repainted and the sticker is gone — what now?+
Run a VIN-based paint code lookup. The factory code is locked to the VIN at manufacture, so it survives a respray or a replaced door. If the car's current color doesn't match the factory code returned, the vehicle was repainted — worth pairing with an accident history check to find out why.
