How to Find Your Jaguar XJ's Color Code

Jaguar paint color codes are usually on the drivers door jamb. On older Jaguar models, the color code can be ANYWHERE! Under the hood, in the trunk. Typical format: 1957/HGZ, which corresponds to Jaguar Racing Green Pearl. Some Jaguars will have the 1957 code but most will only show the HGZ code. Same color across models may have different names: Racing Clearcoat, Green Performance Clearcoat, etc. It's the same paint!

The Color Breakdown

Jaguar has treated the XJ to a staggering 93 recorded colors over the years. They really went for it, offering everything from the "I have a corner office" classics like Ebony and Liquid Silver Metallic to the more adventurous "I might be a secret agent" shades like British Racing Green Metallic, Black Amethyst Pearl, and the vibrant Velocity. Whether your XJ is draped in Italian Racing Red or the moody Dark Sapphire Metallic, you're dealing with high-end pigments that were designed to look deep enough to swim in.

What to Watch For

Before you start, you'll need your secret handshake-the paint code. On the XJ, you can find this on a sticker located inside the driver's side door jamb. Look for a three-letter code (like PEC for Ebony or HGD for British Racing Green) usually listed right next to a "PAINT" heading.

Now, for the reality check: Jaguar paint is beautiful, but it can be a bit sensitive. These cars are known for a "soft" clear coat that picks up stone chips if you even look at a gravel road. You might also notice tiny bubbles starting to form around the corners of the doors or the edge of the trunk-this is a common quirk of the XJ's aluminum body meeting its trim. The good news? Catching these small spots early with a touch-up kit is exactly what keeps them from turning into a bigger headache later.

Driveway Repair Tip

Because so many Jaguar colors-like Celestial Black or Lunar Gray-rely on heavy metallic and pearl flakes, your biggest hurdle is "the sparkle settle." Those tiny metallic flakes love to sink to the bottom of your touch-up bottle. Shake that bottle for at least 60 seconds longer than you think you need to; you want those sparkles suspended evenly so the color matches your car's shimmer.

When applying, remember that Jaguar paint thrives on patience. Instead of trying to fill a chip with one big glob, use the tip of your applicator to place a tiny dot of paint in the center of the chip and let it flow to the edges. If it's a deep chip, wait 20 minutes and add a second thin layer. It's much easier to add a little more than it is to deal with a "mountain" of paint on your hood.
