Hi
Update: Here is 1 more place you might consider- Jaguar Lexus Volvo Touchup paint - Another Ebay seller: hayden6984 - Dupont touch-up paint 2 oz. bottle with brush $14 - seller comment: We mix to your order so your paint is fresh - Buyer comment: perfect color match for my jag
Jaguar Lexus Volvo Touch-up paint | eBay


First you need your exterior paint code to be able to get the right paint touchup also you might need your VIN number.
Here is the information from the Jaguar shop repair manual:

Dependent upon market, the VIN and other information is displayed on a label located either on the rear edge of the LH front door or on the body front upper crossmember. For certain markets, the VIN appears on a bar code label referred to as the Certification Label and additionally carries the month and year of manufacture, vehicle weight data and paint and trim codes.
Here is a JPEG I pasted up that shows where you can fine your paint code on the VIN label, also shows the location of the VIn label on your Jaguar:

The Color code for 2002 Jaguar Zircon paint is JHV/1927 per http://www.uniquecarsandparts.com.au/colour_codes_jaguar.htm

Here are 3 websites where I found the paint touchup color Zircon JHV/1927:

JAGUAR TOUCH UP PAINT from a JAGUAR REPAIR CENTER - TOUCH UP BOTTLES ARE BASE COAT COLORS FOR SMALL CHIP AND SCRATCH REPAIR - ONE 30 cc (about 1 fluid ounce) BOTTLE $18. Give them your paint code. Had a favorable comment from buyer - excellent color match.

i used this system on my badly sandblasted front end and couldnt believe the result. ive always doubted stuff like this but was very surprised with the result. definitly looked nice enough to not want a front end re-spray anymore!
