COLOR CODEBLVC266 - Yellow GoldJaguar Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This shade is a time capsule from the late seventies. It represents a bold period for the brand, appearing on the Series 2 XJ and the early XJS during the British Leyland era. While other owners chose safe silvers or whites, your car carries a color that defines a specific moment in automotive design. Since your Jaguar has spent decades on the road, the finish has changed since it left the factory, but this pigment restores that original harvest warmth.

Technical Details

You are working with a solid finish. Because there are no metallic flakes in this paint, you do not have to worry about the flakes settling unevenly. The benefit is a match that is less complex to achieve for a chip or a scratch. The downside is that solid colors show every bit of dirt and every surface ripple. If you do not sand the area smooth, the yellow pigment will highlight the dent rather than hide it. This paint is thick and opaque, so it provides excellent coverage over primer.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Jaguar Yellow Gold (check for code BLVC266), you need to shake the container for at least one minute. This ensures the heavy yellow pigments mix with the binders. You can find your paint code on the metal plate inside the driver's door jamb or under the bonnet on the radiator cross-member. Test the color on the included card to see how it looks against your aged paint. While applying, keep the container moving to prevent drips and allow enough drying time between your layers to build a smooth surface in your garage or the shade. Use a steady flow and a consistent distance from the panel to get the best result from the nozzle.
