COLOR CODE2206 - Caldera RedJaguar Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This is the bold, uncompromising red of the Jaguar lineup. While other owners might opt for the subtle sparkles of a metallic finish, you have the high-impact clarity of a solid color. On the sharp lines of an F-Type or the broad shoulders of an F-Pace, this shade demands attention because it refuses to hide behind flakes or pearls. It is a pure, race-bred aesthetic that gives your E-Pace or I-Pace a classic British sports car soul, even in a modern SUV body.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, which means what you see is what you get. Because there is no metallic flake to mask light reflections, the depth of the red depends on the smoothness of the surface. The upside is that you do not have to worry about metallic mottling or the color looking different from different angles. The challenge is that solid reds show every tiny scratch or swirl mark. If your paint has been on the road for a while, you might notice the original finish has a slight edge in gloss, so focus on thin layers to bring back that factory depth.

Best Practices

You can find your paint code on the identification plate located inside the driver's side door jamb. Before you spray or dab Jaguar Caldera Red (check for code 2206), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure the heavy red pigments are mixed. Always find a garage or shade to work in, as direct sunlight will dry the paint too fast and ruin your results. Test the color on the included card before you touch the vehicle to confirm the shade match. When applying, keep the container moving and focus on light coats. Let the drying time work for you; rushing the process will lead to a heavy, uneven finish that stands out for the wrong reasons.
