2107/JKL - Lazuli Blue Metallic Jaguar Touch Up Paint

The Look

Your X-Type is part of a rare group. This deep, sophisticated shade was only available during the final year of production in 2009, making it a true late-edition color. It lacks the heavy purple undertones of earlier Jaguar blues, opting instead for a crisp, nautical depth that gives the car a modern executive presence. Since your car has been on the road for over fifteen years, the original finish has likely weathered a bit, but this specific blue holds its pigment well against the sun compared to lighter silvers or reds.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means it relies on tiny flakes to catch the light and create depth. These flakes are heavier than the paint itself and tend to sink to the bottom of the container. If you do not mix them thoroughly, the color will look too dark or "muddy." When applying, you must keep the container moving to prevent the flakes from clustering in one spot. Clustering creates dark patches, often called mottling, which makes the repair stand out against the factory panels.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Jaguar Lazuli Blue Metallic (check for code 2107/JKL), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to suspend those metallic flakes. You can usually find your paint code on a black sticker located on the driver's side door pillar. Always test the color on the included card before you touch the car to ensure the shade matches your current paint fade. Apply the paint in thin, even layers rather than one thick coat. This helps the flakes lay flat and ensures the drying time stays consistent. Once the color is dry, you will need a clear coat to provide the final gloss and protect the metallic particles from oxidizing.
