Jaguar Farallon Black Pearl (1BF/PNG/2219) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Farallon Black is not your typical flat black. It was engineered to define the sharp lines of the F-Type and add a sense of weight to the F-Pace and XF. Since your Jaguar has likely spent years on the road, you know this color is high maintenance. It shows every speck of dust and every swirl mark, but the trade-off is a sophisticated depth that makes the car look like it was carved from obsidian. On the XE, it turns a compact sedan into something much more intimidating.

Technical Details

This is a pearl finish, which means it relies on tiny metallic flakes to give the paint its character. The challenge here is consistency. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the flakes will sink and cluster, creating dark patches or "striping" that looks uneven in the sun. Because the light reflects off these particles at different angles, the finish can shift slightly in appearance depending on the time of day. You are not just matching a color; you are matching a texture.

Best Practices

You will find your paint information on a black sticker located on the driver's side door jamb. Before you apply Jaguar Farallon Black Pearl (code 1BF/PNG/2219), you must shake the container for at least two full minutes to wake up those heavy pearl particles. Test the color on the included card and hold it against your car in the sunlight to check the flake density. Work in a Garage or a Shade to prevent the sun from heating the metal. Use thin layers, and always keep the container moving to ensure the flakes distribute evenly rather than clumping together. Allow plenty of drying time between each coat to prevent the base from getting soft or cloudy.
