Icy White Satin (2488) Touch-Up Paint for Jaguar

The Look

This color appeared briefly on the 2023 F-Pace and F-Type, and it carries the weight of Jaguar's high-end SV Bespoke catalog. It looks less like paint and more like a block of carved ice or frosted glass. Because it was featured on performance-oriented models, the finish is designed to emphasize the aggressive body lines of your car without the distracting reflections of a standard gloss. It provides a modern, technical feel that makes the car look frozen in motion.

Technical Details

Before you spray or dab Jaguar Icy White Satin (check for code 2488), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This is a metallic-based white, which means it contains fine particles that give it that cold, internal glow. The satin aspect comes from the top layer. Unlike most cars on the road, this finish has a low-sheen surface. You must be careful with your application because you cannot polish or buff a satin finish. If you try to scrub away a mistake with a compound, you will create a permanent shiny spot that ruins the frosted effect.

Best Practices

You can find your paint code on the driver's side door jamb, usually on a black or silver sticker near the latch. Since the metallic flakes in this white settle quickly, you must keep the container moving while you work to ensure the color stays consistent. Test the color on the included card before you touch the car to make sure the pigment and the sheen look right. Work in a Garage or a patch of Shade to prevent the sun from shortening your drying time too much. Apply thin layers and wait for the surface to look dull before adding more paint, as building up too much thickness at once can cause the metallic particles to clump and look uneven.
