Hi all ...... Well the jag is going in for a full bare metal paint job , the factory colour at the moment is British racing green , I'm thinking of a possible colour change to opalescent gunmetal grey , I know it wasn't an original factory colour that year or for a series 2 , any thoughts or suggestions would be most welcome,
Thank god it's Friday ...... Mick

Changed my 1969 Series 2 from Sable to Opalescent Gunmetal Grey. Very happy with the outcome:
I'd probably be a little more torn over moving away from a classic colour like BRG than I was with Sable, but like mgcjag says ultimately the best advise is to go with whatever would give you the most pleasure: i.e. paint it for yourself, not the next owner.

MIck, for direct comparison go to g**gle images and search for "jaguar e type brg" then for "jaguar e type gunmetal grey".
Your car, your color!

If I did not have a red E type then gunmetal grey is the colour I would choose.
It suits the Etype really well and remind me of the DB5 of my father in Law.

The best advice I can give is .... don't park your E type near a cricket field :D
( particularly at what looks like long on - aka cow corner - for a right handed batsman ) :(
