Am having my XJS repainted. Original coach stripes had been removed and replaced by side moldings. I plan to remove the molding and add the coach stripes back. I was able to learn the style used from our Technical & Originality Library but can't find a reference to color. The photos shown appear to be a light gold however I don't know if that was the exclusive color or if different body colors came with different color striping.

Any help would be appreciated.

For anyone that is interested, here is the chart for what amounts to '90 -'91 cars. We all know VIN breaks sometimes are kind of blurry.

The chart George posted doesn't say it, but it is for cars up to the VIN on this chart.

Cheers,

Keith Dick Cavicke has the samples that JCNA holds. He monitors this thread or you could write him and ask for a pic or a scan. The over the counter stuff is too bold in my estimate.

Just thought of another question George. The chart says my coachlines are to be goldleaf. If there a 'specific' Jaguar version of Goldleaf or is a generic 'goldleaf' suitable when trying to stay original? Thanks again!

Keith you are still welcome to call but I had a few mins. this AM and some help holding the manual for scan. This should be what you are looking for. George.

Keith I had mis understood your question. I found the charts for your car and wrote you a long response last eve. Problem is the forums hen went down for a while. Please give me a call on the JCNA tech. line and I can sort your coachlines out for you.

Thank You for your responses - unfortunately they didn't help resolve my color issue.

Michael - Geoff Green's guide is where I found the style used and the two examples are both in gold but I can't find anything that tells me if gold is the only color that was available and/or if that is the appropriate color to go with Westminster Blue paint

George - the section of the JCNA rule book that you suggested confirms that pin stripes are authentic but it also does not address colors available and/or color used to compliment Westminster Blue.

So my question remains unanswered - - any other iseas about where I might find out?

Keith have you looked at the JCNA rule book---Chapter VI pages 9-12. There you will find a list of coach stripes (pin stripes).

Hi Keith, I went through exactly the same thing a couple of years ago. Please check the 1976 to 1991 judging guide by Geoff Green (downloadable) . It shows the different types of coachlines Jaguar used.
