Jaguar X-Type Touch Up Paint (24 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

The Jaguar X-Type arrived on the scene with a wardrobe that was surprisingly adventurous for a baby Jag. With 24 total colors recorded, Jaguar clearly wanted to give the people options beyond the boardroom basics. They really went for it with choices like the mystical Seafrost Pearl, the electric Emerald Fire Pearl, and the deep, moody Indigo Pearl Metallic. Whether your X-Type is dressed in the classic British Racing Green or the punchy Chilli Red Metallic, it's a car that carries its pigment with a bit of old-school swagger.

What to Watch For

Before you pop the cap on your touch-up bottle, you need to find your specific code. Open the driver's door and look at the door jamb (B-pillar) for a sticker; you're hunting for a three-letter code like PEC (Ebony) or JJX (Indigo). While these cars look sharp, they do have a few "character marks" to look out for. Keep an eye on the area around the chrome trunk trim and the door handles-paint tends to bubble slightly there. You might also notice the clear coat getting a bit "cloudy" or peeling on the roof or hood if it's spent too many summers in the sun. Don't worry, though; these are just signs of a car that's actually been driven.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since Jaguar loved their pearls and metallics, those tiny bottles are packed with "shimmer." Before you start, shake that touch-up pen or bottle for a full 60 seconds-longer than you think you need-to wake up those metallic flakes so they don't all sink to the bottom. When you're filling a chip, remember: less is more. Instead of trying to fill a hole in one go, dab a tiny "raindrop" of paint into the center of the chip and let it flow outward. It requires a little patience, but building up two thin layers is the secret to a repair that looks like it came from the factory, not a finger-painting class.
