Thanks for your well wishes but things have taken a turn for the worst. Ordered my paints from a local paint specialist LRC909 & LRC820.
Purchased new doors and had them painted off the vehicle. I was then informed by the painter a close friend that the paint was more cream than white.
Back to the paint specialist tomorrow to air my frustrations. I appreciate the paint will get sorted its just the added work involved to strip the doors and repaint. I could have done without the headache and I can't believe a paint specialist can get it so wrong!!!

What was wrong ? Wrong paint supplied?

I ordered the correct paint code from an independent paint specialist yet the colour isn't right. It should be Alaska White yet it is very much creamier than it should be.
Does it look like that when wet, or did you put a dab or 2 on a piece of metal and let dry? Paint does dry a different shade than what it looks like when wet

They may have supplied you with Limestone White, a very common colour on older Landies.

I wouldn't mind but I provided them with the paint code LRC909. What's the paint code for Limestone White?

Well we finally got to the bottom of it. LRC909 is actually Arctic White/Porcelain White which is actually very cream in colour. Which makes me doubt if the colour codes provided here by members is actually correct. Anyhow, to obtain a white I have opted for Fuji White which is LRC867 and is the current paint code for both the Evoke and the Defender Adventurer limited edition. Fingers crossed.

As I was the only member to kindly give you the codes I assume you're suggesting it was me.
The Land Rover Defender 'Fire and Ice' special edition WAS factory-sprayed with Alaska White and the CORRECT code for this is LRC909. It is not a brilliant white - a quick Google image search will show you this. Arctic White is a RRC colour, it may well be the same as Alaska White, I don't know, Land Rover used to give different names to the same paint depending on if it was used on the Land Rover, Discovery or Range Rover.
Next time you take the big step of changing the colour of your vehicle, may I suggest you order a sample amount first and see if it's to your liking, before you get someone to start spraying your beloved Landy.
And don't blame others for your mistakes. Thanks.

Bluedog, please don't take it personally. I was just a little miffed at myself more than anything. The colour was definitely nothing like the pictures. It could well have been incorrectly mixed, albeit the paint suppliers deny this as I was told they would. Therefore to reduce further heartache I opted for the Adventurer look with the Fuji white and the Santorini black.
