Just a quick query about paint. Looking through the brochures indicates that an F2 can have solid, metallic or premium paint depending on specification. I know what solid paint is, I know what metallic paint is. How does premium metallic differ from ordinary metallic? The brochure indicates that my Metropolis should come with premium as standard, as my colour is Loire Blue would it require a different touch up colour to a standard metallic loire blue? Or are all Loire blues the same? I assume the paint code on the door jamb will get me the correct colour but are there any other differences I need to know or be aware of? FL2 Metropolis, Loire Blue, ebony/ivory

Loire blue is Loire blue

Premium metallics have different flecks through the paint to the standard metallics. You will only have premium paint if chosen but will still be charged (included in price of car) for it even though you went for standard metallic Loire blue. You get ripped off basically

It's like those that bought a white Evoque Dynamic, metallic paint is standard but LR don't knock the £600 of the car. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

Excellent info, just what I suspected, mine has multiple colour flecks so I assume that is the premium. Will be a to match if (when) it gets chips though. FL2 Metropolis, Loire Blue, ebony/ivory

Loire Blue is just a standard metallic. I think its only Borolo Black that is a premium metallic. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200
