Your Paint Color Profile

2316 - Spectral Racing Red

The Look

This is not a standard color for a standard car. This shade was born in the Special Vehicle Operations lab to celebrate the final chapters of the F-Type. It carries a depth that shifts depending on the light, moving from a bright, aggressive cherry to a deep, wine-colored shadow. Because your car likely represents the 75th anniversary of Jaguar sports cars, the finish is meant to be flawless and glass-like. If you are fixing a chip on a door edge or a scratch on the hood, your goal is to replicate that liquid metal appearance without making the repair look like a dark scar on the panel.

Technical Details

You are working with a complex pearl finish. Unlike a solid red, this paint contains specialized pigments and fine metallic flakes that catch the light at different angles. These particles are heavy, and they want to sink to the bottom of the container. If you apply the paint too thickly, these flakes will bunch up and create dark spots or uneven stripes in the finish. Before you spray or dab Jaguar Spectral Racing Red (check for code 2316), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This ensures the pearl is evenly distributed so the color matches the factory panels instead of looking muddy.

Best Practices

Open your driver's side door and look at the jamb; you should find a black or silver sticker containing your color ID. Once you are ready to begin, find a spot in your garage or the shade to keep the surface cool. Test the color on the included card to see how the pearl behaves under your lighting. When applying the paint, keep the container moving to avoid pooling. It is better to apply three thin, translucent layers than one thick coat. This layering allows the pearl pigments to lay flat and catch the light correctly. Give the area plenty of drying time before you move on to the next step.

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.
