Default Automotive Touch up Paint

I found this site and they can match up Jaguar colors. The paint codes are matched up using drop down menus for make, model, year and paint code. My guess is that the spray cans are good for small pieces perhaps up to a grill or so.

nice link Mike. I've tried a couple paint places, and unfortunately, nobody recommends touching up silver, and recommend a proper paint/clear n blend of the area instead. This place did have my color, however.

The touchup works better on the white and dark color exteriors.

Post Paint Touch up

I have silver and tried small touch up and have not been successful either.I did order a can of spray and did a test in a small 2" disc and the finish looked great after I clear coated it. I would try to do a bumper if I had a backup plan to take it to the body shop if I screwed it up.
