COLOR CODE732/NDM 1732/NDE - Spindrift WhiteJaguar Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color is a rare bird from 1998, found on the refined XJ8 and the sleek XK8. It captures a specific moment in Jaguar history where the brand leaned into a crisp, clinical aesthetic. Since your car has been on the road for over two decades, the original finish has likely developed its own character through sun exposure. This white is clean and sharp, lacking the creamy or yellow undertones found in later heritage shades. It gives your car a bright, modern presence that stands out against the darker British Racing Greens common in that era.

Technical Details

Spindrift White is a solid finish. You will not find any metallic flakes or pearl dust here. This lack of sparkle makes the repair straightforward because you do not have to worry about the direction of the brush or flakes bunching up and creating dark spots. The trade-off is that solid white hides nothing. It acts as a blank canvas for road tar and iron fallout. Because there is no metallic shimmer to distract the eye, your surface preparation is the most important part of the job. Any bumps or deep scratches left in the primer will be visible under the final coat.

Best Practices

Locate your paint code on the sticker inside the driver's door pillar or under the hood near the radiator. Before you spray or dab Jaguar Spindrift White (check for code 732/NDM 1732/NDE), you must shake the container for sixty seconds to wake up the heavy white pigments. Test the color on the included card and let it dry to ensure the shade matches your aged panels. Keep the container moving to avoid puddles and build the color in three light layers. Give the paint enough drying time between layers so the surface remains level. If your project requires a clear coat, wait until the color is dry to the touch before you add the gloss.
