Jaguar Light Blue Metallic (1927/JHV) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color captures a specific era of Jaguar refinement. Between 2002 and 2007, it was a mainstay for the X-Type, S-Type, and the aluminum-bodied XJ. It is a light, airy blue that often mimics silver in low light, giving your car a clean, executive appearance that hides road film better than darker shades. Since your Jaguar has likely been on the road for nearly two decades, the paint has endured plenty of weather, but this particular metallic hue tends to age with more grace than the flatter, solid colors of the same period.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, meaning it relies on microscopic aluminum flakes to catch the sun. Before you spray or dab Jaguar Light Blue Metallic (check for code 1927/JHV), you need to understand how those flakes behave. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the flakes will clump together and create dark, shadowy patches known as mottling. It is a common trap for this specific shade because the light pigment makes any inconsistency in the flake layout very obvious to the eye.

Best Practices

You can verify your paint code on the sticker located on the driver's side door pillar. Before you begin, shake the container for at least two full minutes to ensure the metallic particles are fully suspended. Test the color on the included card to see how the metallic grain looks once it sets. When you are ready to work in your garage or a patch of shade, keep the container moving at all times to avoid heavy build-up. Allow for plenty of drying time between layers to let the finish stabilize before you consider your final coat.
