Jaguar E-Pace Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Jaguar really decided to explore every frequency of light for the E-Pace, recording a staggering 34 colors. They've given us everything from the high-octane Italian Racing Red Pearl to a collection of greys so extensive it makes a rainstorm in London look vibrant-shoutout to Ammonite Grey, Borasco Grey, and Carpathian Grey for keeping the "50 shades" dream alive. Whether you're driving a classic Polaris White or the moody Ultimate Black Pearl, they definitely leaned into the "luxury" side of the palette.
What to Watch For
Before you crack open that bottle, you need your "secret handshake"-the paint code. You'll typically find this on the VIN sticker located inside the driver's side door jamb. Look at the very bottom of that label for a three-character code (like PEC or NER).
Now, for the reality check: Jaguar paint is famously beautiful but can be a bit delicate. The clear coat is on the softer side, making it prone to "road rash" (those tiny white peppering chips on the hood) and UV fading, especially on the bright reds. You might also notice the paint feels a little thin around the edges of the door handles or the tailgate. Don't worry, though; these are exactly the kind of battle scars a DIY touch-up was born to fix.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since so many E-Pace colors are metallics or pearls-like Caesium Blue or Silicon Silver-your bottle of paint is essentially a tiny snow globe of heavy sparkles. These metallic flakes love to sink to the bottom and stay there. Shake your bottle for a full 60 seconds (set a timer!) to wake up those pigments.
When you go to apply it, remember that you aren't "painting a fence." Use the very tip of the brush to dab the paint into the center of the chip and let it flow to the edges. If the spot is deep, it requires patience: do one thin layer, wait 20 minutes, and then add another. This prevents that "raised scab" look and ensures your repair stays flush with the rest of your Jag's sleek lines.
