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. It looks like you can order spray cans as well as paint for a spray gun.

I got some touch up paint and clearcoat for £11 from my local dealer. But the colour match was so poor I returned it.

No, not odd at all. The little bottles of touch-up paint can never provide perfect matches for factory-applied paint. Different batches, different manufacturers, and sometimes even different formulas. I use them as a last resort for stone chips. Always hate having to do so, however....

I've found the OEM (manufacturer's own) have been very good matches but the non-OEM have been quite poor. So I stick with the OEM.

I have found this place to be very good at matching factory colors. Lots of good info on fixing chips and scratches also!!

Jags come in a limited range of colors. I have all the 2005 factory literature. What color is your car?? Maybe It was the same as 2005?

kparsells, the ones I've seen had paint and trim codes on labels by the front door hinges (hidden when door closed). Also, any dealer can tell you if you quote your VIN
