Jaguar Eiger Grey Metallic (1DF/LRA/2409) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Your Jaguar likely wears this shade because it replaced the older Corris Grey around 2020, moving the brand toward a cooler, more technical aesthetic. It is a staple on the F-Pace and F-Type, where the crisp tone highlights the sharp creases in the aluminum bodywork. While darker greys can sometimes disappear into the pavement, this color has enough silver in its DNA to stay visible and sophisticated. It is a practical choice for a daily driver like the XE or XF because it hides road film better than black, though it still demands a clean surface to really show off its depth.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish. Because the look depends on thousands of tiny aluminum flakes catching the light, the way you apply it changes the final shade. If the flakes lay flat, the repair looks bright; if they stand up or clump together, the spot will look like a dark smudge. This "mottling" is the biggest risk with any metallic grey. You aren't just applying color-you are arranging a microscopic layer of metal. Getting the flakes to distribute evenly is the difference between a repair that disappears and one that stands out as a dull patch in the sun.

Best Practices

Locate your paint ID on the manufacturer sticker inside the driver's door jamb or under the hood. Before you spray or dab Jaguar Eiger Grey Metallic (check for code 1DF/LRA/2409), you must shake the container for at least sixty seconds to settle the metallic particles into the mix. Test the color on the included card to ensure the flake density matches your car's current aging. When applying, keep the container moving to avoid heavy spots. Use thin, light layers and give the paint enough drying time to set before adding more. Building the color slowly prevents the flakes from sinking, which keeps the repair bright and consistent with the factory Garage finish.
