So the bottom line is if I do need a partial respray at some stage my car is going to look like a patchwork quilt Question MY2011 HSE Santorini/Ivory/Piano Black/Privacy Glass/TV .Sadly gone.

I had part of the bumper and nearside wing repainted last summer after a Censored dragged the rear 3/4 of his caravan against my car in a motorway services car park. Professional body work paint shop did a great job. You cannot tell where the repair was done, so no need to worry about a patchwork quilt effect Very Happy Thumbs Up

Its not the quality of the work I'm worried about rather the inability to get exactly the same paint colour if LR can't get the components of the paint. MY2011 HSE Santorini/Ivory/Piano Black/Privacy Glass/TV .Sadly gone.

again, any decent bodyshop/paint supplier can mix paint that will match

How do you know they will be able to get the constituent parts if LR can't I just don't understand?
Surely if the particular parts of the formulation are freely available LR would have access to them and therefore wouldn't have pulled them? MY2011 HSE Santorini/Ivory/Piano Black/Privacy Glass/TV .Sadly gone.

any paint colour can be made using a combination of other colours using a mixing formula, i could go into work right now and mix up some of the colour your worrying about

where i work, we do alot of insurance work and always do land rovers/range rovers
