I have ordered the small bottles of touch-up paint from automotivetouchup.com multiple times over the years for multiple vehicles (including our Jaguars). A perfect match every time. If I remember correctly, they were usually $12 to $15 per bottle including shipping....

Ordered mine through the Jaguar Dealer. Took a few days to come in. Many dealers don't like them staying in inventory to long. Like $20. Good thing is my 2007 Triumph is the exact color, Pacific Blue.

+1 on automotivetouchup.com, have had great results with their products, here are a couple examples:

repainted mirror cover in Phoenix red, trim refinished in Dorchester gray, paint from automotivetouchup.com


refinished wheels and left front wing, paint from automotivetouchup.com

Default Automotive Touch Up good results

Had to repair bumper damage on my British Racing Green xk8. Automotive touch up paint was a perfect match.

Of course the prep work makes it happen. Good luck

Cool ZRay the Paint man!

ZRay,

I've always used Dr. Colorchip for those little Rock Chips around the Nose Piece and the Spray Can from Automotive Touchup for underneath the grill area when I hit one of those Speed Bumps. Be sure to get the Clear to cover it after the Color dries…..

Any automotive body supply shop can mix it up on site for you, I have had really good luck with BSAF & PPG paints for matching.
