Hello all, I have a 1999 110 Defender TD5. Ever so slightly off white in colour. I believe it to be Fiji white, but there is no paint code on either on the chassis, or build plates. It says paint code on them, but it is blank. I believe the reason for this is, it is an ex comercal/Electricity board vehicle. Can anyone conferm this please? And if you are inthe know, what is the paint code I need? Thanks in advance...Ian....
What is the correct colour is my Defender please?

Pics might help. There is a generic "works off- white" colour.

I have the same on mine, ex BT so no colour code, although Im guessing it was canary yellow as the previous re spray is crap.
Could yours be ivory white, maybe

How the hell is anyone supposed to know what colour someone has painted ur landy?? & Does it matter? Just repaint it another shade of white..
A bit harsh for a simple question. Yes it does matter, thats why I asked. most of the paint work is good. I want to paint my new doors, bonnet the same colour to match the rest of it, if thats ok with you! I know the paint is a standard colour, I was asking if anyone knows what it was exactly. Im sure I'm not the only one on here that has an ex electricity board Rover. Thank you to Lorri789 and dodgyrob. Dodgyrob, is there an Ivory white paint I can actually get from Landrover? I will try that. It is a slightly off white. Thank you...

It's been painted after it left the factory why do you think it's a LR paint that's been used??
Can you tell me what colour mines been painted it's blue but not a LR Blue???
Oh and there's about 20 leccy boards they all have a different paint scheme.
Well that was the question I was asking from people who know. I dint know different Electricity boards had a different colours of white, now I do! I thought they maybe they came a standard white for comercal built Rovers, and that was the question I was asking. It hasnt been resprayed before so it is still an original white colour, I was just asking if someone knew what standard off white colour it was! If you hadnt noticed, thats what this site if for. Asking other landrover owners for thier advice. No need to be rude about it. If you didnt want to answer my stupid question, then dont! I didnt ask you to did I? Like the first two replies, lorri789 and dodgyrob knew what I ment. Just because you didn't, you don't have to be rude about it!!

Yes you can get a 'Land Rover Ivory White' but I dont know what the paint code is, sorry. I bought some in aerosol cans from Bearmach so I could respray my wheels.
Redhand is just busting your balls so take it easy mate
Good luck on your quest for paint
