Default Sourcing Body Paint

I am getting ready to paint body color (colour) and would like some assistance in locating a source for the paint. I know the Jag codes but that does not tell the whole story to the paint shops I have spoken to.
Any ideas? I am in the Houston, Texas area.

Hi mbwillgrubs,
I would call Dan Mooney at Classic Jaguar in Austin TX ((512) 288 8800). They have modern formulations for Jaguar colors.

Thanks again, already called them. I found a place in Houston and will pick some up today. Dan Mooney was helpful as well as the people at Finish Master.

mbwillgrubs,
I'm glad that you got what you needed from CJ, I haven't talked to Dan in a long time. So what color are you thinking on painting it?

The original Opalescent Blue Metallic. Blue top and blue interior should turn out a nice looking car.
