Window Trim refurbishment.

Postby clivesaunders » Mon May 16, 2016 2:47 pm

Convertible XKR 2002 I wish to repaint the Qtr light & possibly the door trims.

I noted article by Ron Tennant Jan 2016 who used Humbrol matt black. Am I correct to assume the black / graphite colour is the 'same' for all cars whatever the body colour ..?

Is there a Jag colour specification for these trim as I would like to try and match the original paint Spec.?

Thanks for assistances

The most common trim colour for the outer trim around all windows, screens is called Jaguar Dorchester Gray. I will try to find the colour code, which I have somewhere, and come back with this info - hopefully.

The info I have located is the colour is Dorchester Grey 342 / LDP. It is available from Jaguar Dealers in small touch-up bottles with application brush (about £10 - £12) or you should get it in aerosol cans or premixed in cans.
By the way, the same colour is also used for the two door mirror brackets and other Jaguar models.
Hope this helps.
