Pacific Blue paint code needed

[Jim Stout]

Can anyone here help out with a modern code for this mid-50s Jaguar Pacific Blue (very dark, non-metallic)?

i hate to join a Jag specific forum just to ask this question and am hoping some here can help (or ask in another forum for me).

Thanks in advance,

jim

I am on that forum (and I don't think you have to join to search it) but the only reference I could find to a Pacific Blue paint code was this post:

When I had all the XK140 colours accurately matched in GLASURIT, PACIFIC
BLUE was per 500ml, IN505 + 20 ml WHITE. (IN505 is a standard colour
formulation)

If you wish, I can ask on the Jag Lovers Forum on your behalf.

That would be great. I have found a Diamont (BASF) code but my paint guy wants PPG.

Thanks for for your help.

I think this link will let you see any response to my enquiry on your behalf (may take awhile):

Thanks Geo (& Peter). Great resource, but only for newer XKs - not the 50s cars. Jaguar reused the name Pacific Blue for a different, modern color.

i can't see the thread on jag-lovers but their site did have an old Ditzler code for pre-58 Pacific Blue. A local paint shop is trying to research it for me with the PPG color library.

Pulled out my old PPG book, but can only go back to 61. Have looked through the library, have not found anything yet. I have some old copies of EJag magazines that I am going to start looking through as they had a color chart in one year of the magazine. Will take time. Did the shop do a color comparison to your color or was car totally stripped of color? Usually when restoring an original color car one masks an interior place void of light to recreate this original color. Revealed after blasting or stripping to match. I found a spot under rear taillight on mine to get the Royal Blue color I needed on my 58.
