Description
Land Rover Series 3 Engine Blue. Classic colour used by the Landrover to paint the 3 Bearing petrol and diesel engines from around 1971 until the commencement of the 5 Bearing cranked units. Also used on some other Rover and Land Rover engines around this time. Colour matched against new genuine engine parts, and confirmed as the correct colour by a professional restorer.

Additional information of interest
- Spray application. All of our Enamels will need to be diluted by around 5-10% using Paintman Coach Enamel Thinners, thus ensuring the highest quality finish and maintaining correct drying times.
- Surface Preparation. Prior to painting ensure all surfaces are clean and dry to remove any contaminants. We recommend using our Surface cleaner 2800 for painted surfaces or our Surface Cleaner 2802 for bare metal. Surfaces should be keyed at each layer to maintain adhesion. Just prior to painting, wipe the surface with a Tack Rag to remove dust and other loose contaminants.
