Your Paint Color Profile

830/FDH - Primrose Pearl

The Look

Your Jaguar represents a very specific era of British luxury where elegance was found in subtlety rather than aggression. Jaguar Primrose Pearl is a rare, buttery hue that was often reserved for high-end Insignia trim levels on the XJS and XJ40. It is a sophisticated, soft yellow that depends entirely on the light to show its depth. Since your car has been on the road since the early nineties, the original finish has likely mellowed or faded slightly from its factory state. A fresh touch-up will bring back that crisp, sun-drenched glow, though you should expect the new paint to look a bit more vibrant than the panels that have lived through thirty years of weather.

Technical Details

This is a pearl finish, which means it contains translucent mica flakes instead of standard metallic glitter. These flakes are what give the car its soft, pearlescent shimmer, but they can be temperamental during application. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the mica will cluster and create a dark, muddy patch known as mottling. To avoid this, you need to build the color with light, even layers. This allows the mica to lay flat and catch the light correctly. If you are using a pen or brush, avoid the temptation to "fill" a chip in one go; multiple thin passes will always yield a better result than a single thick dab.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Jaguar Primrose Pearl (check for code 830/FDH), you need to shake the container for at least sixty seconds. You can usually find this paint code on a metal plate located in the driver's side door jamb or on the cross-member under the hood near the radiator. Because the mica flakes settle at the bottom of the container, thorough mixing is the only way to ensure the color matches your car. Test the color on the included card first to see how the pearl settles before you move to the actual bodywork. If you are working in a garage or the shade, keep the container moving to maintain a steady flow. Give the paint plenty of drying time between layers to ensure the finish remains level and clear.

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.
