COLOR CODE1AC/MEN/2130 - Indus Silver MetallicJaguar Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This silver is the backbone of the modern Jaguar aesthetic. Whether you see it on an F-Type or an F-Pace, it provides a technical, machined look that highlights every sharp crease in the aluminum bodywork. It is a cool-toned shade that feels more like a precision instrument than a soft vintage luxury car. Since your XE or XF has likely been on the road for a few years, you probably already appreciate how well this color hides road film and light dust. It is a practical, everyday choice that manages to maintain the brand's sharp, predatory edge.

Technical Details

This is a high-brilliance metallic finish. The depth comes from millions of tiny flakes suspended in the paint. While these flakes are great for hiding small surface scratches, they can be temperamental during a repair. If the paint is applied too heavily or unevenly, the metallic particles will bunch together, leading to dark spots or stripes known as mottling. This creates a blotchy appearance that ruins the clean reflection of the metal. You need these flakes to lay flat and uniform to match the factory finish on the surrounding panels.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Jaguar Indus Silver Metallic (check for code 1AC/MEN/2130), you need to shake it for at least 60 seconds to properly mix those flakes. You can find your specific code on a sticker located on the driver side door jamb. To get a professional result in your garage or shade, always test the color on the included card first. This lets you see exactly how the metallic particles settle before you touch the car. When you begin the repair, keep the container moving to ensure the paint spreads evenly. Build the color in thin layers and allow for plenty of drying time to prevent the finish from looking muddy.
