ROVER car color codes

Even if you are not a car painting professional and during this small touch-up on your rear-view mirror or your door, you are introduced to the specifics of these complex painting techniques, we are going to show you here. explain in two sentences the why and how of contemporary car paint.

The modern paints that coat our vehicles are pearlescent and metallic paints, thanks to their content of pearlescent or aluminum pigments. Gone are the days when we applied gloss and opaque lacquers in simple colors to cars.
These modern paints are very easy to apply, as they are fluid and thin. They dry quickly and do not require complex mixing with hardeners. Let's not forget that they do not present any risk of running because they dry very quickly.
These paints, for example for the Rover color code, are called "matt base paints to be varnished". They also have another official name which is “two-coat paint”. Why these names?
Because they are done in 2 steps, not 2 coats. These 2 steps are painting, then transparent and glossy varnish for finishing and protection.
In this category dedicated to Rover paint, we offer paint according to the Rover color code, or the complete kit which includes a primer and a clearcoat.

Do you need a primer or a primer?
This is a question that comes up all the time and most customers think they need a primer. In truth, no. This primer is only necessary in the case of very damaged or scratched paint. If indeed, the bottom is not perfectly smooth after sanding (P500) then it will be necessary to apply two coats of this filling primer, then sand heavily until a smooth surface is found. We recommend wet sanding.

The history of the manufacturer ROVER

Rover is a very old brand of car manufacturers. This brand even dates from before the creation of the automobile group, that is to say that it can be found as early as 1878, because at the time, it manufactured bicycles. The brand produced vehicles until 2005. Since that date, Jaguar and Land Rover owners have been using the production tool but no longer produce vehicles under the Rover brand.
Like many other car manufacturers, Rover has passed on to many owners over its century of business. Today, it has given way to much more prestigious brands such as Land Rover and Mini.
The brand became famous in the 1970s with the production of its magnificent all-terrain vehicle, the Range Rover. At the time, it was one of the very first vehicles capable of combining both an off-road character and excellent comfort on roads and motorways. The Range Rover model was a real success and it is known for its comfort and power. Many versions will follow one another during its 50 years, until the current times.
