Jaguar Celestial Black Pearl (2062/PEJ) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Jaguar chose this color to define the modern era of the XK, XF, and XJ, moving away from traditional flat blacks toward something with more muscle. In the shade, your car looks like a deep, formal black, but direct sunlight reveals a heavy hit of blue pearl that gives the finish a liquid, multidimensional quality. Because this was often reserved for high-end Portfolio trims, it carries a weight and presence that simpler blacks can't match. If your Jaguar has been on the road for a decade or more, that blue flake is what keeps the paint looking deep rather than tired or gray.

Technical Details

This is a pearl finish, which is significantly more complex than a standard solid black. Those blue flakes are actual particles of mica or ceramic suspended in the paint. The risk here is mottling, where the flakes cluster together and create dark, blotchy patches or uneven stripes. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the pearl particles will sink into the pigment and lose their sparkle, leaving you with a dull patch that doesn't catch the light. You are looking for a balance where the black provides the depth and the pearls sit evenly near the surface to reflect the sun.

Best Practices

You can usually find your paint code on the identification plate located on the driver's side door jamb. Before you apply any Jaguar Celestial Black Pearl (confirm your plate shows code 2062/PEJ), you must shake the container for a full two minutes. Those blue pearls are heavy and will settle at the bottom of the vessel quickly. Test the color on the included card to see how the metallic flake distributes. Whether you are using a pen or a spray, keep the container moving across the surface to ensure the flakes lay down flat and even. Work in the shade and allow plenty of drying time between light layers. Building the color slowly is the only way to prevent the black from looking muddy and to keep that signature blue shimmer visible.
