Jaguar Balmoral Blue Satin (2363) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Since you own a 2023 F-Type, your car likely carries one of the most exclusive swan songs in British automotive history. This color belongs to the Special Vehicle Operations palette and was primarily reserved for the final "75 Edition" models. It is a deep, moody navy that looks like the Atlantic Ocean at midnight. Unlike the classic gloss finishes, this satin surface gives your Jaguar a stealthy, modern silhouette that absorbs light rather than reflecting it. It is arguably the most sophisticated shade ever to leave the Castle Bromwich factory.

Technical Details

This is a Satin Pearl finish, which is the most challenging type of paint for a DIY repair. The color itself contains microscopic metallic and pearl flakes that provide depth, but the top layer is designed to have a matte sheen. You need to be very careful because you cannot polish or buff this paint. If you try to use a rubbing compound to smooth out a mistake, you will turn that spot into a permanent glossy smudge. Because the sheen depends on how the paint settles, you must ensure your layers are even and consistent to avoid a blotchy appearance.

Best Practices

Open your driver's door and look at the black ID sticker on the jamb to confirm your color information. Before you spray or dab Jaguar Balmoral Blue Satin (check for code 2363), you need to shake the container for at least 60 seconds to ensure the heavy pearl particles are fully mixed. Do not skip the most important step: test the color on the included card to check that the sheen and darkness match your car perfectly. Work in a cool garage out of the sun. Maintain a consistent spray distance and keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling. Give it plenty of drying time between thin layers, as heavy coats will ruin the delicate satin texture.
