Rolls Royce car paint

If you are on this page, we assume that you wish to obtain a manufacturer’s colour based on the colour codes of other European cars, and in particular the colour codes of Rolls-Royce cars, for a renovation or full respray project to be carried out in a professional bodywork facility.

The Rolls-Royce colour code paints we offer are solvent-based. These classic, professional-grade versions offer distinct advantages over the automotive water-based paints that bodyshops are now forced to use.

The main benefits are ease of application, fast drying, and overall application quality: the metallic or pearlescent pigments in Rolls-Royce colours are always better positioned in a thin solvent-based paint than in thicker water-based paints, which take longer to dry. It is also worth noting that solvent-based paints offer much better long-term durability than water-based ones, with fewer risks of defects such as blistering, discolouration or peeling.

Rolls Royce car colour codes

To determine the amount of paint needed for the Rolls-Royce vehicle or for a touch-up, it is first necessary to estimate the surface area in square metres.

Always choose the next size up, as it’s better to have a little extra paint than not enough.

1K basecoats cover 8 to 10 m² of bodywork per litre in a single coat. As two coats are required to achieve the Rolls-Royce colour, the final coverage is therefore around 4 to 5 m² per litre.

This coverage applies to a ready-to-use Rolls-Royce paint, i.e. already mixed with thinner.
All paints based on Rolls-Royce colour codes are sold ready to use below 500 ml.
From 1 litre upwards, they are supplied in kits including separate paint and thinner.
Dilution is simple: add between 50 and 70 parts of thinner for every 100 parts of pure paint.

A word about application:
Modern Rolls-Royce colours are very thin metallic or pearlescent paints. To apply them properly, it is important not to apply thick coats. On the contrary, it is advisable to apply multiple thin coats in quick succession until full coverage of the surface is achieved and the optimal shade appears.
Another very important point: the clearcoat must be applied over the Rolls-Royce paint within no more than 20 to 30 minutes, to ensure adhesion and consistency between paint and clearcoat.

The history of the manufacturer Rolls Royce

The name of the English luxury car brand is the combination of its two founders: Charles Rolls and Henry Royce. This British car manufacturer was founded in 1904, at the dawn of the automotive era, in Manchester, UK.

The brand quickly became a symbol of engineering excellence, earning a reputation as the world’s finest vehicle even before it came to represent luxury. It should be remembered that Rolls-Royce is also a major manufacturer of civil and military aircraft engines.

After financial setbacks linked to aircraft engine development and return on investment issues, the company was split, with the aircraft engine division becoming separate and the car manufacturing division nationalised. In 1987, the brand was sold to a private company.
Today, Rolls-Royce is one of the most recognisable brands in the world, along with Coca-Cola.
According to its wealthy clientele, Rolls-Royce remains the quietest and most pleasant vehicle to drive among all major luxury marques. The luxury sector has shown no signs of crisis, and Rolls-Royce has enjoyed steady growth since the early 2000s, despite base prices that reach several hundred thousand euros.

Where to find the colour code of your Rolls Royce car ?

For Rolls-Royce vehicles, the plate showing the colour code (VIN plate) is located:

- On the left-hand front door leaf (driver’s side)

- On older models: on the left front wing (driver’s side) or under the front bonnet

You can refer to the images provided below to help locate it. The colour code is often made up of 4 characters (letters or numbers).

We can provide an extract from the Rolls-Royce colour database on request. This may be a comprehensive extract, as the database contains over a hundred colour codes.
We cannot help you without certain key details. A search by model and year may produce approximate results, with numerous similar shades, but will not guarantee the correct Rolls-Royce colour code.
The colour name or reference is not listed on the vehicle registration card. The most reliable way to confirm the paint reference is to contact the dealership or consult certain specialised websites.

The emblematic colours of Rolls Royce cars

Rolls-Royce English White is perhaps the brand’s most iconic shade.
However, the English manufacturer has created many white shades, some of which are complex tri-coat paints involving the application of two different paints plus a clearcoat. (See examples below).
We can see that the 0E1L shade is a well-known tri-coat requiring a “first coat” layer.

0E0Z ARCTIC WHITE ROLLS ROYCE 2004-2017
0E1A CARRARA ROLLS ROYCE 2005-
0E1D ENGLISH WHITE ROLLS ROYCE 2007-2010

0E1L CITREOUS PEARL ROLLS ROYCE 2007
0E1L FIRST COAT ROLLS ROYCE 2007
