2014 Defender 90 Puma 2.2 PU Keswick Green

Rear Cross Member Touchup

The rear cross memeber on my 11 plate DCPU is matt black. A few weeks ago, a bit of paint the size of a penny plaked off revealing shiny steel underneath.

I want to touch up the naked area. Do LR do a touch up stick for this part?

If not (I haven't seen one) can someone recommend a product which dries giving a matt black finish to match the thin paint they stick on in the factory. Whilst it's under warranty I'm not keen to repaint the whole thing.

I think you'll find the satin black touch up brushes from the standard colours section in places like Halfrauds are a pretty close match. (note: satin not matt).

I'd take it back under warranty, I think your vehicle comes with a corrosion warranty that means you need to have it treated correctly to maintain the warranty in place.

cheers

Same happened to me (although I may have caught it with the trailer) - it's currently protected with ACF-50 to stop it rusting (which it has) till I get round to touching-up the cross-member and a few other areas underneath with POR-15
