1BC/LAZ/2150 - Seraphinite Metallic Jaguar Touch Up Paint

The Look

Jaguar Seraphinite Metallic is a rare, moody green that behaves like a chameleon. On an F-Pace or XE, this color often looks like a deep, near-black forest green in the shade, but it transforms into a sharp teal-green under direct sunlight. Since your car has likely been on the road since 2018, the finish has probably developed some character. This shade was only available for a short window, making it a boutique choice that stands out from the sea of silver and black Jaguars. It is a sophisticated color that rewards a clean surface, as even a light layer of road dust can hide the complexity of the metallic flake.

Technical Details

This is a high-density metallic finish, which means it carries a heavy load of microscopic flakes to achieve its depth. The biggest challenge with dark metallics like this is mottling. If the paint is applied unevenly, those metal flakes can cluster together and create dark, blotchy patches or stripes that ruin the factory look. Because it is a dark base, any light scratches or chips will show up prominently against the green pigment. You are dealing with a finish that requires patience to ensure the flakes lay down flat and reflect light in a single, uniform direction.

Best Practices

Before you apply Jaguar Seraphinite Metallic (code 1BC/LAZ/2150), you must shake the container for a full two minutes. Those heavy metallic particles sink to the bottom quickly, and if they aren't mixed, the color will look dull and mismatched. You can find your paint code on a sticker located on the driver-side door jamb or the B-pillar. Always test the color on the included card to check the flake density before touching the car. When you begin, keep the container moving in steady passes to prevent the paint from pooling. If you are using a pen, use light dabs rather than long strokes. Give the paint plenty of drying time between layers in a cool garage or the shade to ensure the metallic orientation sets properly.
