2011 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Stornoway Grey

botched up stone chip colour

Click image to enlarge
Am I doing something wrong?

My 90 (2011) is stornoway grey. I have used a little bit of primer, and i have two types of paint. A genuine parts touch up stick, and a touch up pen with felt nib.

regardless of which one i use the paint is really dark.. even after 5 minutes of shaking in warm weather. Whats going on? it sticks out like a sore thumb

Primer affecting colour coat? Does it come with a clear lacquer, if so have you tried using it? Steve.

To clarify, your Defender looks Orkney & the touch up looks Stornoway.

Get a stonechip company to do it, there's loads about. It's not expensive and they'll get a perfect match.

I've had little success with paint sticks too.
Airbrush by a professional would be better in my opinion or live with the battle scars.

Everything normally tells a story even down to a stonechip.

Hello All,
My paintwork just under my windscreen has got a few stone chips that have turned to little rust spots!
Is there any thing that I could spray onto the paintwork(Blue) to stop it and prevent anymore stone chips,
I have dinitroled inside through the door hinges but obviously I can't spray that on paintwork,

Any comments would be appreciated

2010 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 SW Stornoway Grey

Puzzling this colour match problem...

I had to touch up a few stone chips with Stornoway Grey recently, and painted the heads of a few SS door bolts. I was really please with the colour match, the Lacquer didn't change the colour it just added the gloss finish.

For Stornoway make sure it's VEP 501730 LEL
