2249 - Meribel White Tricoat Jaguar Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color represents the final chapter of the Jaguar F-Type legacy. It is not a standard fleet white but a deep, sophisticated pearl that was introduced for the car's final production run. On the curves of an F-Type, the light catches the metallic particles to create a soft, liquid glow rather than a harsh reflection. Because your car is likely a 2023 model, the factory finish is still fresh, but even slight road debris stands out against this bright, multi-dimensional surface. It gives the car a sense of weight and premium texture that a solid white simply cannot match.

Technical Details

This finish is a Tricoat, which makes it a complex beast for a garage repair. Unlike a standard paint that relies on a single color layer, this system uses a solid base followed by a translucent mid-layer packed with pearl flakes. The challenge here is depth. If you apply the mid-layer too thin, the repair looks flat and lacks that signature glow. If you apply it too thick, the color will look darker or more yellow than the rest of the car. It is a balancing act of light and transparency, so you must pay close attention to the way the pearl builds up as you work.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Jaguar Meribel White Tricoat (check for code 2249), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can find your paint code on a sticker located on the driver's side door jamb. Because the pearl particles are heavy, they settle at the bottom of the container and require vigorous mixing to ensure the color matches the rest of the panel. Test the color on the included card first to see how many layers of the mid-coat you need to reach the right depth. When applying the paint, keep the container moving to avoid a heavy buildup in one spot. Allow plenty of drying time between layers to prevent the finish from becoming muddy.
