Jaguar XK Touch Up Paint (46 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Jaguar didn't just paint the XK; they dressed it for a gala. With 46 recorded colors, they really went for it-offering everything from the electric French Racing Blue to the deep, sophisticated Botanical Green Pearl. If your XK is one of the many shimmering metallics like Lunar Gray or Liquid Silver, you're essentially driving a high-speed mirror. It's a stunning palette, though they did provide enough variations of silver and grey to make a rainbow feel a bit redundant. Whether yours is a punchy Salsa red or a ghostly Porcelain White, it's a car designed to be noticed.

What to Watch For

Owning an XK is a love affair, but the clear coat can be a little sensitive. Keep a close eye on the horizontal surfaces-specifically the hood, roof, and trunk-for "cloud peeling." This is when the clear coat starts looking a bit milky or hazy from too much sun. You'll also likely find a collection of "character marks" (stone chips) on that gorgeous, low-slung nose; it's the price you pay for having such a sleek profile. To find your exact match, open the driver's door and look at the sticker in the jamb or on the B-pillar. You're looking for a unique 3-letter code (like PEC or SDN) usually located right next to the "PAINT" heading.

Driveway Repair Tip

Many of these Jaguar shades, like Celestial Black Pearl or Winter Gold, are packed with heavy metallic flakes that love to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Shake your touch-up pen or brush for a full 60 seconds-set a timer if you have to-to wake up those sparkles. When you're ready to fix a chip, remember that less is more. Use the tip of the applicator to dab a tiny drop of paint into the center of the chip and let it flow to the edges. Matching these complex pearls requires patience, but working in thin layers will keep your Jag looking like a masterpiece rather than a DIY project.
