2023 Jaguar Touch Up Paint (71 OEM Colors)

The 2023 Jaguar Vibe

By 2023, Jaguar was leaning hard into its "Special Vehicle Operations" era, turning the factory floor into a high-end art gallery. Whether you were piloting the silent I-Pace, the swan-song F-Type, or the stately XF, you weren't just picking a color-you were picking a mood. Our database has clocked 71 distinct shades for this year alone. It's like the designers at Coventry couldn't stop themselves; they gave us everything from the scorched-earth look of Atacama Orange to the deep, cosmic mystery of Amethyst Grey-Purple. In 2023, Jaguar decided that if the world was going to go grayscale, they'd fight back with a palette that required a master's degree in optics just to describe.

Paint Health Check

Now, here's the reality from the shop floor: we are living in the Thin Paint Era. Back in the day, I could practically hide a penny in a coat of lacquer, but these 2023 beauties are painted by robots with an obsession for "efficiency." They've got the precision of a surgeon, but they're stingy with the microns. This means your Borasco Grey or Portofino Blue looks like glass in the showroom, but it's remarkably vulnerable on the road. The clear coat is tough, sure, but it's thin. A single rogue pebble on the motorway doesn't just chip the paint; it goes through the finish like a hot knife through butter. And if you're rocking one of those SVO "Satin" finishes like Flux Satin or Ligurian Black Satin, you're playing on hard mode-those finishes don't take kindly to traditional buffing or "quick fixes."

Restoration Tip

When you're touching up a 2023 Jag, remember: build layers slowly; don't blob it. Because the factory finish is so lean, a giant drop of touch-up paint will sit on the surface like a sore thumb. You want to apply your color in thin, patient passes. Let each one flash off before adding the next. This is especially true for those complex Tricoats like Valloire White or Icy White-you're trying to replicate a depth that a robot achieved in a clean room, so don't rush the cure time. If you have a satin finish like Verbier Silver Satin, stay away from the polishing compound unless you want to turn your matte masterpiece into a shiny mistake. Keep it thin, keep it steady, and respect the robot's work.
