Default XJS Tonneau/Top Cover Color Change

The Tonneau cover that came with my 1994 XJS was not even a close match to my interior, much lighter. I don't know how many different colored covers Jaguar made, but I didn't like the very light top that didn't match my leather interior.

Solution, change the color using Light Oak SEM Colorcoat coating. I have had great results with this product on door panels, carpets and other interior parts.

I went with 15753 light oak and it is a very close match when on the car and out in the natural light.

Well done Sir
I was a bit more fortunate, in that mine was a very good match to interior

Maybe the one that came with the car was originally made for a different interior color, but it was a lot lighter and just didn't look nice.

What the outcome looks like on the car. SEM sells a lot for browns, tan, and beige colors and if I were to do it again I would maybe try a darker color to more closely match the interior, but I kind of feel I am being just a little bit too picky. And yes, the driver's seat bolster needs attention. I already have the dye, just need to find the time.

Just give the Jaguar trim colour from your VIN label to Furniture Clinic who will sell your the correct colour for your seats and hood cover.
