1993 Jaguar Touch Up Paint (24 OEM Colors)

The 1993 Jaguar Vibe

Welcome to 1993, the year Jaguar decided to throw the entire color wheel at the XJ6 and the XJS. We've got 24 colors in the database for this year alone-twenty-four! It's like the designers at Coventry couldn't decide if they wanted a classic gentleman's club or a Miami nightclub. You had the traditional heavy-hitters like Brooklands Green and Westminster Blue, but then you've got these wild 90s experiments like Peppermint Metallic and Lavender Metallic. It was a weird, transitionary time where the old-school wood-and-leather luxury was trying to stay relevant in a world of teals and pearls. If you're rocking Kingfisher Blue Metallic, you aren't just driving a car; you're driving a 1993 mood ring.

Paint Health Check

You've landed right in the heart of The Peeling Era. By 1993, Jaguar was fully committed to the basecoat-over-clearcoat system. It looked a mile deep when it left the showroom, but here's the rub: those early clear coats have a nasty habit of "delaminating." It starts as a small, cloudy white patch-usually on the roof or the boot lid-and before you know it, the clear is flaking off like a bad sunburn, leaving the dull base color exposed to the elements. If you see "cloud peeling" on your Flamenco Pearl hood, that's the UV rays winning the war against the bond between your color and your shine.

Restoration Tip

Look, kid, on a '93 Jag, a tiny stone chip isn't just a cosmetic annoyance; it's an invitation for disaster. Once that clear coat seal is broken, moisture gets underneath and starts lifting the edges, and that's when the "sheets of plastic" peeling starts. The Fix: Seal every single chip the moment you see it. Use a precision touch-up to fill the void and, most importantly, level it off with a high-solids clear. You want to bridge that gap and "lock down" the surrounding clear coat before it decides to part ways with the car. If you catch it early, you keep the "Cat" looking sleek; if you wait, you're looking at a full respray.
