Jaguar Sienna Gray Pearl Metallic (2030/LMN) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color defines a specific era of Jaguar luxury, appearing on the S-Type, X-Type, and XJ during the late 2000s. It is a sophisticated, moody charcoal that avoids the flat look of standard grays. Because your Jaguar has likely been on the road for over a decade, you will notice how this shade hides road grime better than almost any other factory option. It offers a heavy-metal aesthetic that feels substantial and grounded, providing a depth that standard silvers simply cannot match.

Technical Details

This is a Pearl Metallic finish, which means it relies on a complex mix of fine metallic flakes and light-reactive pearl pigments. These flakes provide the signature "flop" or color shift when you walk around the car in the sun. The risk with this finish is mottling. If the paint is applied too heavily in one spot, the flakes will bunch together and create dark, cloudy patches. Because the basecoat is designed to dry with a matte finish, do not panic if the repair looks dull at first. The depth and shine only appear once you apply the clearcoat.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Jaguar Sienna Gray Pearl Metallic (check for code 2030/LMN), you need to shake it for at least 60 seconds. You can find your paint code on the identification plate located inside the driver's side door jamb. Since metallic flakes are heavy and settle quickly, frequent mixing is the only way to ensure the color matches your panels. Always test the color on the included card to verify the flake density before touching the car. To avoid stripes or uneven spots, keep the container moving in steady, overlapping passes and maintain a consistent flow from the nozzle or brush. Perform your work in a garage or the shade to prevent the paint from drying too fast. Once the drying time is complete, a clearcoat is required to protect the pearl and bring out the metallic luster.
