COLOR CODE1AD/PEJ/2062 - Celestial Black PearlJaguar Touch-Up Paint

The Look

You have one of the more elusive finishes in the modern Jaguar catalog. While standard blacks can feel flat or heavy, this color carries a distinct personality that appeared on high-spec models like the F-Type and F-Pace. Since your car has been on the road for a few years, you might notice that it isn't just black. In direct light, a deep blue pearl fleck emerges, shifting the character of the XE or XF from a stealthy shadow to a jewel-toned masterpiece. It is a sophisticated choice that rewards a clean surface and a sharp eye.

Technical Details

This is a pearl finish, which uses mica flakes to create that signature color shift. These flakes are heavier than the paint itself and tend to sink to the bottom of the container. If you apply the paint without proper mixing, you run the risk of mottling, where the color looks patchy or uneven. Because the blue flecks are so specific to the look of the car, getting an even distribution of those particles is the difference between a repair that disappears and one that stands out as a dark blotch.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Jaguar Celestial Black Pearl (check for code 1AD/PEJ/2062), you need to shake the container for at least sixty seconds. You can verify your code on the manufacturer sticker located on the driver's side door jamb. Test the color on the included card to see how the pearl builds before you touch the car. Whether you use a brush or a nozzle, keep the container moving to prevent the mica from clustering in one spot. Work in a garage or the shade to ensure the metal stays cool. Apply thin layers and give each one ample drying time to reach the correct depth.
