Default Correct Paint Codes/Colors for Suspension and Drivetrain

Can anyone point me in the correct direction or resource for the correct paint codes/colors for a '59 XK150 S?

I have a PPG paint code book, but does not cover the older cars. Check XKdata.com, they do show colors and names. I will look in an old book I have and get back. If you have a Heritage Certificate, this certificates labels the color that left the factory.

Thank you Jagfixer! I wonder if this would include the proper colors to paint the suspension, etc?

Maybe someone in JCNA would know as well. I will post whatever I find.

No. There are no paint codes. To paint a correct car, you will need to gets some of the authorized books and match colors, or visit the Heritage Museum or go to some of the JCNA events in your area. You might get in touch with the local Jaguar Club, thru JCNA.com and the area Judges will walk you thru the colors. Jaguar painted with whatever they had in stock ( which continually was changed ) and painted special colors at customer requests.
