COLOR CODE1AZ/EAT/2171 - Firesand PearlJaguar Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Your Jaguar likely turned every head on the block when it first debuted in this shade. Originally the hero color for the F-Type launch, this high-energy orange is unapologetic. On the F-Pace or XE, it transforms a refined commuter into something that looks like it belongs on a track. Because your car has been on the road since the 2016 to 2018 window, the original finish has likely faced some sun, but the depth of this pigment is remarkably resilient. It is a bold choice that celebrates the lines of the car rather than hiding them.

Technical Details

This is a complex pearl finish, which explains why the color seems to shift and glow as you walk around the vehicle. The finish relies on tiny metallic and pearlescent flakes to catch the light. The risk here is mottling; if those flakes cluster together during application, the touch-up can look patchy or "dirty" compared to the factory paint. This happens because the orientation of the flakes dictates how light reflects back at your eye. It is a high-reward color, but it demands a steady hand to maintain that factory glow.

Best Practices

You will find your factory label on the driver's side door jamb or occasionally on a plate under the hood. Before you spray or dab Jaguar Firesand Pearl (check for code 1AZ/EAT/2171), you must shake the container for a full sixty seconds to ensure the heavy pearl sediment is fully integrated. Test the color on the included card to verify the shade match against your fender. While applying, keep the container moving to prevent the metallic flakes from pooling. Work in a cool garage or the shade, and allow plenty of drying time between thin layers to build the color properly.
