Colour of the Queens 110?

ATR1993 · Nov 18, 2016

Hi guys, I'm always lurking here and reading all your helpful advice but I'm new to posting. Hopefully one of you knowledgeable chaps will be able to help.

Quick and hopefully simple question, does anyone know what the colour of the Queens 110 is (I've attached a few photos below)? I'm starting a 110 project soon and painting will be one of jobs so I need to choose a colour, I've always liked Epsom green but after seeing this I far prefer it.

I've searched various forums but I've never been able to find an answer, I assume it must be custom. Its like a very dark BRG but under certain lights looks almost black. Would anyone be able to give me paint codes/hex codes of it or something similar if they have any clue what it could be?

Any help very much appreciated.

Mine has been sprayed in Aintree Green and it has that effect. In the shade it appears almost black. In the twilight it can appear almost dark blue and in sunlight its green. Mines not as clean though.

That looks really good. Is that metallic or flat? You wouldn't happen to have a paint code for it would you?

It's a metallic paint.
Try: X 87281AL866 for the paint code. I'm not sure as when I asked the guy for the code I wasn't confident he knew what he was doing. It's Aintree Green.

That's an ansom colour @mikescuba

I have to say I'm very pleased with it as in different lights it appears to be a different color. People have also given very favorable comments on it. My wife is into interior design and that sort of thing, even she has said I did well with the color which is very unusual. I think it suits a Defender.

The Royal One Ten was painted a unique green with black bumpers ( they should be galvanised ). Looks classy by today's standards, in '84 it was the mutt's nuts ( I believe this is the exact description Her Majesty gave to the coach builders).

I'm actually looking for something flat rather than metallic but Aintree certainly seems to be in the ball park.

Think it would look better without the shiny rivets.

I to was looking for something flat but there wasn't much choice.

Personal preference of course, but I like the unpainted rivets, adds a bit of interest to the look.

I suppose I don't have to go for a Land Rover factory colour, do I? I could have a similar colour mixed in a non-metallic paint and use that.

I think it looks like a bespoke suit, where they still had the woolen stitches laid in, prior to the final fit. You must know what I mean?

Good analogy! I think it adds some robustness to the look. The wheels painted black look great.

Do you get a footman, driver, door opener that can weld with the queens colour

Probably holding the bullet proof plates for the royal passenger. Notice the chauffeur don't get any

The closest colour I've found is Aston Martins Goodwood Green, a colour the some of the vintage Astons came in. Does anyone know how I would go about getting a Defender sprayed this colour, for instance, what information would I need to get the paint mixed?

Orange is betterer...
