Hi Folks. My car: 2001 xk8 in Phoneix Red (code:CGL).
Anybody have any luck obtaining a Touch up - Paint match for the beautiful dark MetallicSilver used on the windshield trim ring and bottom of rearview mirrors? I have a photo of what I'm speaking of, below. Jaguar dealer states they do not have this "Trim" color even listed?? Strange/annoying. I can't find info ANYWHERE.
My Exterior paint code is: CGL (phoenix red). Thanks to all, in advance!

+1 to Dorchester Gray on your 2001

The metal is usually OK. The paint bubbles because the original primer is inadequate.

Also, as discussed once before, Duplicolor Graphite wheel enamel is a virtually perfect color match, but the metallic flakes are just slightly larger.

As mentioned above it is Dorchester Grey 342/LDP. Touch Up Paint and Accessories | AutomotiveTouchup is an excellent source for it.
