1AW/GAU/2215 - Halcyon Gold Metallic Jaguar Touch Up Paint

The Look

You own a piece of Jaguar history that most people will never see in person. This color was a celebration, specifically launched to mark the arrival of the 2017 F-Pace as part of the First Edition series. Because your vehicle was part of a limited production run, you are dealing with a color that leans more toward a sophisticated champagne than a loud, brassy gold. It reflects the light with a soft glow rather than a harsh glare. Since your F-Pace has likely spent several years out in the elements, the original finish might have shifted slightly, so focus on blending your repair into the surrounding panels to account for any natural aging.

Technical Details

This is a complex metallic finish packed with fine flakes that give the car its signature depth. When you work with metallics, you face the challenge of flake orientation. If the paint goes on too heavy or too wet, those tiny metal pieces can cluster together or sink, creating dark spots or "mottling" that looks like dirty stripes on the surface. Before you spray or dab Jaguar Halcyon Gold Metallic (check for code 1AW/GAU/2215), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This ensures the gold flakes are suspended evenly so they lay flat and reflect light correctly once they dry.

Best Practices

To confirm you have the right match, look for the identification sticker inside the driver-side door jamb or on the B-pillar. Before starting the repair, move the car into a cool garage or into the shade to avoid direct sunlight, which can cause the paint to dry too fast and trap the flakes in the wrong position. Test the color on the included card to see how the metallic particles settle. Whether you are using a pen or a can, apply the paint in thin, light layers and keep the container moving to prevent heavy build-up. Allow ample drying time between these layers to build the color gradually rather than trying to cover the damage in one pass.
