Your Paint Color Profile

840/JGZ - Antigue Metallic

The Look

Your Jaguar wears a color from a very specific window in the brand's history. Since this finish was only available for a short time around 1997, it marks the era when the brand transitioned from the sharp angles of the older XJ series to the liquid curves of the early XK8. It is a sophisticated teal that shifts its character depending on the weather. In the shade, it looks like a deep, brooding forest green, but once the sun hits the body lines, the blue undertones come alive. Because your car has lived through several decades, the original finish has likely developed a unique character from UV exposure, making a careful touch-up essential for maintaining that jewel-like depth.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means it relies on a precise suspension of tiny flakes to create its signature glow. Metallic paints can be temperamental because those flakes like to settle at the bottom of the container or clump together during application. If the flakes don't lay down flat, you will see dark spots or "mottling" that makes the repair look like a bruise on the panel. To avoid this, you must focus on the flow of the paint. Applying one heavy, wet coat is a mistake that leads to sagging and uneven color. Instead, use several light, even passes to build the depth. This patience ensures the metallic particles distribute themselves evenly across the surface.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Jaguar Antigue Metallic (check for code 840/JGZ), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You should find your paint code on a metal plate or sticker located on the driver's side door pillar or occasionally under the bonnet near the latch. Once you have confirmed the code, test the color on the included card to see how it reacts to your specific lighting. If you are working in a garage or a patch of shade, keep the container moving at a steady pace to prevent the paint from pooling. Between each layer, allow enough drying time so the surface is no longer tacky. Finishing with a clear coat is the only way to match the factory gloss and protect the metallic flakes from oxidizing over time.

ensuring the right match

Find your Jaguar paint code

Jaguar paint color codes are usually on the drivers door jamb. On older Jaguar models, the color code can be ANYWHERE! Under the hood, in the trunk. Typical format: 1957/HGZ, which corresponds to Jaguar Racing Green Pearl. Some Jaguars will have the 1957 code but most will only show the HGZ code. Same color across models may have different names: Racing Clearcoat, Green Performance Clearcoat, etc. It's the same paint!

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4" long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.
