Hello, I've been trying to find out if HGZ (Jaguar Racing Green) is supposed to lacquer based or otherwise? I'm going to need to repaint the rear spoiler and front bumper trim insert.

 

Go online and type in something like "Jaguar color matched paint"

Many complanies will mix paint to your exact factory color.
Here is one example company: https://www.automotivetouchup.com/

You can call any of these companies and talk to them regarding what types of car paints are available these days.
(Paint prices have gone through the roof and you can pay up to $400 per gallon.)

Several years ago, I ordered brush touch up paint, a small can, and spray paint in my car's color.

I was really happy with the color match, but using the spray can, I could not get the margins between the original paint and new touch-up area to blend well.

I recommend that you purchase enough paints (Primer if needed, base coat and clear coat) in a can to be able to paint a complete panel, or part. and spay it using a regular high quality air spray gun.

Where I live, all the paint shops are into insurance repairs and wont even take touch up jobs.

 

Hi
All Jaguar paints are clear over base, whether its a solid color or metalic
cheers

 

So this is where I still am confused:



I can find a base coat but I can't what type of paint it is, which is important for picking out a clear. I haven't looked at this company's clear options, but that's the root of my question: finding the proper, compatible clear that won't flake due to mismatch of chemical composition.

 

I recommend giving them a call. That's what I did several years ago.
