Hi all
Can anyone please tell me the paint colour code for my car.
I'm currentl refurbing the rear bumper and need the correct paint to
match rest of car. Otherwise I may end up with two-tone colours.
my car is a Jaguar XJ8 1998 Auto 3.2L, Reg S273 BGK, VIN 858226.
Any help would be much appreciated. :D
Regards
Tony

your paint code will be on a label on the front slam panel, usually a three letter code such as JFG, you can then tie that up to the website you mention, which is excellent and the one I always refer to for paint and trim code

Hi Rob
Thanks for info.
The slam panel is slightly worn.....only code letter visible is last letter 'E', but successfully matched up with codes on website.
Thanks again
Tony :D

Hi Guys
Finally completed respray of rear bumper. Looks really good. Got the paint code. Matched up perfectly. Matched up so well, I decided to spray the wing mirror covers as well.
Well worth the trouble of sanding and preparing.
Cheers
Tony :D
