Your Paint Color Profile

BLVC282 - Chestnut Brown Metallic

The Look

Jaguar Chestnut Brown Metallic is a time capsule from 1979, a year that marked the transition of the XJ series into its most refined form. This color is a deep, chocolate-soaked earth tone that perfectly captures the sophisticated, heavy luxury of the late seventies. It was a one-year-only option across the lineup, making your car a rare sight on the road today. Because this shade is so rich, it handles road grime better than lighter tans, but it will show every water spot if you don't keep it waxed. Since your Jaguar has likely been out in the world for over forty years, the original finish might have shifted toward a darker hue, so your touch-up will help restore that factory-fresh warmth.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means it relies on tiny flakes to create depth and reflect light. The biggest risk you face with this type of paint is mottling, where the flakes clump together and create dark, blotchy patches or uneven stripes. This happens when the paint is applied too heavily in one spot, causing the flakes to "swim" rather than lay flat. To avoid this, you need to ensure the flakes stay suspended in the liquid so they land evenly across the surface. Getting the flake orientation right is what separates a visible patch from a repair that disappears into the bodywork.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Jaguar Chestnut Brown Metallic (check for code BLVC282), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can typically find this code on a metal identification plate located on the radiator cross-member under the bonnet or inside the driver's door jamb. To ensure the flakes are behaving, test the color on the included card before you touch the car. When you begin the application, keep the container moving at all times to maintain a steady flow. It is better to apply three or four thin layers than one heavy coat. Give the paint plenty of drying time between layers to let the solvents escape, which helps the metallic flakes lock into their final position.

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.
