Need paint color info for 2012 XF Portfolio wheel repair
Hello,
I have a minor curb impact damage on one of my painted aluminum wheels and need a source for the factory colored silver wheel paint. Any tips on where I can get this without having to take the wheel in to be matched?
Thanks,
Cal

Cal,
Try asking the parts counter at your Jaguar dealer, or...
Take several sheets of white paper to your local auto parts or home improvement store and spray them with samples of various shades of sliver paint (rattle can), see which one is closest to your wheel, and buy that one. It doesn't have to be a paint made specifically for wheels; any spray paint will do for a small touchup. Don't forget to clearcoat after the color coat is dry, to protect that color from changing. Worked for me!
