COLOR CODE810/LFA 1810/LGL - Titanium PearlJaguar Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Since your Jaguar has been on the road since 1998, the finish has likely acquired a character that defines that classic era of British luxury. This color was a sophisticated choice for the XJ8 and XK8, offering a depth that standard silver simply could not match. It is a medium-toned grey that shifts under the light, giving the car a liquid metal appearance when the surface is clean. Because your car is over two decades old, the original paint has likely aged, so you are looking to restore that deep, reflective quality that makes these models stand out in a parking lot.

Technical Details

This is a Pearl finish, which means it contains tiny mica flakes that reflect light differently than a standard metallic. While it looks incredible, it requires a careful touch. The biggest risk with a pearl is clumping; if the paint is applied too heavily in one spot, the mica flakes will settle unevenly and create a dark, muddy patch. You want to avoid "tiger stripes" or blotches by ensuring the flakes lay flat and uniform. This depth is what hides minor road grime so well, but it also means you need to be deliberate with your layering to match the factory shimmer.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Jaguar Titanium Pearl (check for code 810/LFA 1810/LGL), you need to shake the container for at least sixty seconds. The mica particles are heavy and love to settle at the bottom, so mixing is the most important step. You can usually find your paint code on a black sticker inside the driver's side door jamb or on the radiator support bar under the hood. To get a clean match, keep the container moving and apply light, thin layers rather than one heavy coat. Test the color on the included card first to see how the flakes settle before moving to the car. Work in a cool Garage or the shade to ensure the drying time is consistent and the paint doesn't set too fast.
