1.0 Paint Codes
The following codes are for Herbert’s and ICI paints. The Land Rover Codes will make sense to any paint
supplier.
Other paint manufacturers are Teckaloid and Tractol. Both are made by Groda. Tractol is commonly
retailed from agricultural suppliers. Teckaloid should be available from good decorators merchants. Land
Rover Bronze Green is a standard colour. Note other colours in the Teckaloid range are Series 2 i.e. the
blues and greys.
Engine Paint
The correct colour engine paint is available from the club shop.
Colour Schedule
WHEEL RIMS as body colour except 107 pickup, where grey bodies were matched with blue
wheels and blue bodies with grey wheels. On the 109 pickup grey and blue bodies
both had blue wheels. Fire engines have red wheels.
