COLOR CODE8322L - Honey BeigeJaguar Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This shade defined the refined edge of the late sixties Jaguar lineup. Whether it sits on a Series 2 E-Type or a stately 420G, this color represents a shift toward the earthy, sophisticated palettes that dominated the end of the decade. It is a warm, creamy tan that feels more organic than the clinical whites of the era, giving your car a grounded, vintage presence. Since your Jaguar has likely been on the road for over half a century, you will notice how this color mellows into the chrome trim rather than competing with it for attention.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, which is excellent news for your repair. Because there is no metallic flake or pearl to align, you do not have to worry about the finish looking striped or blotchy based on how you hold the container. However, solid beige is a high-pigment color. While it provides great coverage, it can be unforgiving if you apply it too heavily in one spot. Solid colors like this also highlight surface imperfections, so working in a clean Garage or a calm patch of Shade is vital to prevent dust from landing in your wet work.

Best Practices

You can usually find your identification plate riveted to the bulkhead or firewall inside the engine bay, though some late sixties models tucked it near the door hinge. Before you spray or dab Jaguar Honey Beige (check for code 8322L), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This is a critical step because the brown and yellow pigments used to create this specific tan are heavy and settle quickly. Test the color on the included card to see how it matches your current paint, as decades of UV exposure can shift the original tone. When you start, keep the container moving to ensure an even coat and allow for plenty of drying time before you decide if you need a second layer.
