Paint code guessing

The paint code under the bonnet of my X308 is unreadable (see image below). It's a metallic green which I *think* is Sherwood Green Pearl / DuPont F2101. Is that likely?

Your paint code is on the driver's door jamb.

This link should decipher your code. Mine is CGG, which is 1811 Carnival Red Metallic

My paint code is on the plaque in the engine bay.

As you are in the UK, use the easiest option. Any Jaguar Dealer can look up your paint code from the VIN. It's rare to hear of them wanting to charge for this.

Ha, yes, thanks. Should have thought of that. And it is... HFR, Sherwood Green.

Any dealer can print you out very detailed data if you ask - commonly free - or contact Jaguar (the actual firm - dealers do not belong to them) with your VIN.
