A couple of years ago there was some discussion re how to source "silver sparkle" wheel paint in spray cans. The end result, as I remember it, was that it was available in touch up kits from Jag but no one had ever seen it in spray form from any source.

So now, 2 years and 2 Jags later, I reissue the call.

Does anybody know of a source for "silver sparkle" Jag wheel paint
in spray form?

 

Judging by the response, I guess the availability of spray "sparkle silver" wheel paint is status quo. I've been all over the Internet and made a few calls. There is a wheel paint out there with the proper name but it is not related to Jag or any particular car.

There are some UK sites that address "silver sparkle" for older painted wire wheels but I couldn't find anything else. Seems like there would be a mkt for this product and somebody ready to service it.

Perhaps some of you guys in the UK have some add'l information?

 

If its just for a touch up I would try a non-metallic silver paint with an extra fine brush.

If the paint is non-metallic you would avoid it going on too dark due to the metal chips not dispersing properly.

Just another option

 

Dodge has a Silver Sparkle paint (PAK) ; touch up only, no spray cans!
Best match is still Jaguar Touch Up bottles..............expensive, of course!

I had used Dupli Color Silver Sparkle Wheel Paint that was close. Sprayed it in a cup along with some GM Ralley Wheel Paint(spray can) and got really close. I had these on hand so I don't really remember what they cost.

 

Thanks to all respondents.

I have found a product that is "dead on" for Jag Silver Sparkle wheel paint and commonly available in the US at Advance Auto Parts. The label states it's an original GM color. Go figure.

Dupli Color BGM0508 Ultra Silver Met (95 WA8867, 96 WA8867) Replaces T191

 

I tried the paint suggested by tarhealcracker. I have/had a couple of minor curb rashed areas that stood out because the paint was scraped off. The Dupli Color paint above worked great! The spray can (under $7) was cheaper than the same in a touch up bottle. I used a fine brush and applied several light coats....

Thanks,
