1994 Jaguar Touch Up Paint (30 OEM Colors)

The 1994 Jaguar Vibe

1994 was a year of transition in Coventry. The boxy XJ40 was taking its final bow, and the curvaceous X300 was warming up in the wings, while the XJS was busy proving that a grand tourer only gets better with age. It was also the year Jaguar decided that "green" wasn't just a color, it was a personality trait. Our database tracks 30 different shades for '94, and let me tell you, they didn't hold back. From the deep, aristocratic Brooklands Green to the electrifying Kingfisher Blue Metallic and the moody Flamenco Pearl, Jaguar was layering on the sophistication. They weren't just painting cars; they were dressing them for a gala at a manor house that may or may not have a roof leak.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the heart of "The Peeling Era." By 1994, the factory had fully committed to the basecoat/clearcoat system. It looked a million bucks on the showroom floor, but thirty years later, we're seeing the fallout. This era is notorious for delamination-that's painter-speak for when the clear coat decides it's done with its job and starts peeling off in sheets like a bad sunburn. If your Jag has spent too much time under the sun, you'll notice "cloud peeling" on the hood and trunk. Once the UV blockers in that clear coat give up, the bond to the color coat underneath snaps, and you're left with a flakey mess that no amount of wax can save.

Restoration Tip

In this era, a stone chip isn't just a cosmetic blemish; it's an invitation for a disaster. Think of the clear coat like a pressurized seal. Once a chip punctures it, moisture and air start tunneling under the edges. Therefore, you need to seal every single chip immediately. Don't wait for the weekend. Clean the area, dab your color, and most importantly, get that clear coat over the top to "lock" the edges of the factory finish down. If you catch it early, you stop the delamination in its tracks. If you wait, you'll be watching your Sapphire Metallic finish fly off in the rearview mirror next time you hit 70 on the motorway.
