1967 Jaguar Touch Up Paint (11 OEM Colors)

The 1967 Jaguar Vibe

By 1967, Jaguar was at the top of its game, transitioning the legendary E-Type into what collectors now call the "Series 1.5" and letting the 420 Sedan flex its British muscles. Our database shows 11 essential colors for this year-a sophisticated palette that moved away from the simple pastels of the fifties into something much richer. Whether it's the iconic punch of Carmen Red, the "is-it-yellow-or-green" mystery of Willow Green, or the stately depth of Silver Blue Metallic, these colors weren't just paint; they were a statement of mid-century speed. If you're lucky enough to have an original survivor in Honey Beige or Pale Primrose, you aren't just driving a car; you're piloting a piece of rolling history.

Paint Health Check

We are firmly in the Single Stage Era here. Back in '67, the factory wasn't messing around with "shells" of clear coat; they just laid down thick, pigment-heavy layers of acrylic lacquer or synthetic enamel and called it a day. It looks deep and luscious when it's fresh, BUT without a modern clear coat to act as a sunshield, 1960s paint lives a hard life. The biggest enemy? Oxidation. If your Jag looks "chalky" or the Maroon Metallic has turned into a dull, dusty rose, that's the pigment literally dying on the surface. Unlike modern thin enamel, this stuff is thick, but it's porous-it needs a barrier of wax or it simply dies from the outside in.

Restoration Tip

When you're dealing with a 1967 finish, you've got to "feed" the paint before you fix it. If you're seeing that chalky, oxidized haze on the hood of your E-Type, don't just start hacking away with a high-speed buffer. Because it's a single-stage finish, your polishing pad is going to turn the color of the car immediately-that's normal, you're just removing dead pigment. My advice? Go slow. Use a high-quality polish to lift the oxidation and then seal it immediately with a heavy carnauba wax. Think of it like old leather; if you don't keep it moisturized, it cracks. Keep that Signal Red or Dark Blue waxed, and it'll keep that "wet look" depth that modern thin factory paints can only dream of.
