Where to find Jaguar color code

How to Find Your Jaguar's Color Code

Jaguar paint color codes are usually on the drivers door jamb. On older Jaguar models, the color code can be ANYWHERE! Under the hood, in the trunk. Typical format: 1957/HGZ, which corresponds to Jaguar Racing Green Pearl. Some Jaguars will have the 1957 code but most will only show the HGZ code. Same color across models may have different names: Racing Clearcoat, Green Performance Clearcoat, etc. It's the same paint!

Your Paint Color Profile

Antigua Metallic

The Look

Jaguar was leaning into a sophisticated, jewel-toned palette in 1999, and this color is the hallmark of that brief era. It is a deep, sea-faring teal that shifts between green and blue depending on the overhead light. Because it was only available for a single production year, your car carries a look that is far rarer than the standard silvers and blacks of the period. Whether it is draped over the curves of an XK8 or the long lines of an XJ8, this shade gives the car a maritime elegance that feels expensive without being loud. Since your Jaguar has likely spent over two decades on the road, the finish has probably developed a unique character, making a careful touch-up essential to maintaining its heritage.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means it relies on a high density of tiny reflective flakes to create its depth. Metallics are sensitive; if the flakes are not distributed evenly, the paint can look mottled or develop dark, cloudy patches. This happens when the paint is applied too heavily, causing the metallic particles to sink and clump together rather than floating near the surface to catch the light. Your goal is to mimic the factory application by laying the paint down in thin, even layers. This ensures the sparkle matches the rest of the panel and prevents the repair from looking like a flat, dark smudge against the original glow.

Best Practices

You can find your paint information on the identification plate located inside the driver's door jamb. Before you spray or dab Jaguar Antigua Metallic (check for code 1840/JHH), you must shake the container for at least sixty seconds to properly mix those heavy metallic flakes. Test the color on the included card to confirm the shade matches your car's current condition. When you begin, keep the container moving at all times to prevent the paint from pooling in one spot. Give the repair plenty of drying time between light coats, as rushing the process can trap solvents and dull the final shine.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4” long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find my vehicle’s paint code?

Your paint code is usually found in the driver’s door jamb, trunk, or under the hood. See our Jaguar Paint Code Guide for detailed instructions.

Will this paint match my car?

Because your Jaguar is older or uncommon, the most accurate option is custom matching where you mail in a small painted part for a hand match. Our paint technicians usually do a great job matching Jaguar color code '1840/JHH' but a perfect match cannot be guaranteed.

Do I need primer and clearcoat?

While primer is recommended on bare metal or plastic, clearcoat is essential: it protects the basecoat and restores factory gloss.

How long does shipping take?

Orders are mixed fresh and ship within 3–5 business days. Delivery takes 2–14 days depending on location.

Which touch up product should I choose?

 It depends on the size of the damage:

  • Paint Pen (½ oz) – Best for very small chips and fine scratches.
  • Brush Bottle (2 oz) – Great for medium chips or scratches up to the size of a quarter.
  • Spray Can – Ideal for larger areas and panels.
  • Professional Sizes (Pint, Quart, Gallon) – Designed for full panel and vehicle resprays using spray equipment.

Not sure? If it’s just rock chips or small scratches, start with a Paint Pen.

Can I return my order?

Yes! If there’s a color match issue, we’ll replace the product or give you your money back. You also can return unopened, non-custom accessories for a full refund.

How long will the paint last in storage?

Paint pens and bottles last about a year if stored cool and dry. Spray cans can last several years if the nozzle is cleaned.
