Default Aerosol paint

I’ve done a few touch up repairs with some success on my x300 before, I used an aerosol spray paint from u-pol, but now I seem to be struggling to find anyone that supplies it. My colour is cabernet (CGE), has anyone in the uk come across a good maker/mixer online who also do a good clear coat aerosol as well? Thanks

Try refinish systems limited. I have used them to supply aerosol paint to match Jaguar paint code. It did what it said on the tin! Very good colour match, but nowadays a clearcoat is required, whereas my car was originally a solid colour (black) and didnt have one. The finished article is indistinguishable from the original, and I am very happy with the result.
PS I have nothing to do with them apart from being a satisfied customer!

I agree, I got the Torquoise paint for my XJR from Refinish Systems.

Was the product this that my be available in the United states ?

T need to do a spot repair if the base coat is not damaged to deeply after a lengthy exposure to the sun after clear top coat came off

The base coat may have oxidized ( looks that way ) and a careful polishing with a fine rubbing compound may take off just enough

Original factory base color Nautilus Green / Blue Mica

Jaguar dealer when asked does not go back that many years to be in the shop catalogue

The polished surface will most likely need to be cleaned of any petroleum based polishing paste before spraying top coat
