COLOR CODE790/HFH - Mineral Green PearlJaguar Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This is a rare bird in the world of British classics. Mineral Green was a flash in the pan, produced only for the 1994 model year across the Jaguar lineup. Since your car has been on the road for three decades, you know this shade is the perfect bridge between the old-school forest greens and the modern metallic era. It provides a deep, earth-toned base that feels right at home on an XJ6 or an XJS. It is a quiet color in the shade, but it reveals a hidden character once you get it out into the light.

Technical Details

This finish is a pearl, which means it uses microscopic mica flakes rather than standard metal glitter to create its shine. Pearls are notorious for settling at the bottom of the container, so if the mixture is not perfect, the color will look muddy or thin. The mica allows light to pass through the paint layers, creating a sense of depth that a solid color cannot match. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the pearl particles will bunch up and create dark patches that ruin the factory look.

Best Practices

Check the driver's side door jamb or the area under the hood near the radiator to find your identification plate. Before you spray or dab Jaguar Mineral Green Pearl (check for code 790/HFH), you must shake the container for at least one full minute. This movement is the only way to get those mica flakes back into the mix. Test the color on the included card to confirm the shade matches your weathered finish. Work in your garage or the shade to avoid direct sunlight, and keep the container moving in steady, light passes. Give each layer enough drying time so the finish sets flat and even.
