I went to my local Auto Parts store that sells lots of bodywork parts and supplies. They are a 3M dealer and mixed up a batch of SEC (Topaz) for me and put in a 12 oz Spray can.

A customer has a Topaz XK8 and needed a HMSL cover that was lost on the boot lid. I bought a replacement cover from Jaguar but it needs to be painted to match. I found my spay can and gave the cover a quick spray and installed it on the stop lamp.

Also get a can of clear coat!!

Don't be tempted to buy the Jaguar Touch-Up paint and clearcoat pencils.




The only thing that can be said in their favour is the colour matches. Both the paint and the clearcoat are too thick and the application brushes are a joke.

Thank you for that advice. I am no artist!

Another vote for automotivetouchup.com. I have the half-ounce touch-up bottles for all four of our current vehicles, and all four are perfect matches and easy to apply. Superior products at half the price compared to any of the OEM paint touch-up bottles that I have used in the past....

Jon,

Went to the site and searched for the color for my 99' red .... without the manual/documentation where do I find the color code for my car....? I would like to try before repainting the whole car.

I think the sun spots on the bonnet and the boot(even a Texas guy can talk Jag language..hehe) might require more than touch up paint....

Thanks
Wes
