Your Paint Color Profile

AFM - Bright Cactus Green Pearl Metallic

The Look

This is one of the "unicorns" of the early 2000s off-road scene. Since your vehicle has been on the road since 2002, you likely know that this color was a one-year-only special that graced the Wrangler TJ, the Grand Cherokee WJ, and the Liberty KJ. It is a vibrant, punchy green that captures the transition from the rugged 90s into the modern era. Because it was only available for a short window, finding a clean example today is rare, which makes your repair work even more important for preserving that unique early-millennium heritage.

Technical Details

Because you are working with Jeep Bright Cactus Green Pearl Metallic (check for code AFM), you are dealing with a complex finish. This is a pearl metallic, meaning it relies on tiny flakes to catch the light and create depth. If these flakes aren't distributed evenly, you will end up with dark spots or "mottling" where the metallic particles clump together. This finish is also sensitive to how thick you apply it; a heavy hand will make the green look darker and muddier, while thin, light passes will let the pearl effect really pop.

Best Practices

You will find your paint code on the VIN sticker inside the driver's door jamb, or occasionally on a metal plate located on the radiator support under the hood. Before you begin, shake the container for at least two full minutes to ensure the pearl particles are fully suspended. Test the color on the included card to see how the light hits the flakes before you touch the car. When applying, keep the container moving and use light, overlapping strokes. If you are using a pen or brush, dabbing is better than dragging to keep the metallic look consistent. Ensure you allow enough drying time between layers to prevent the paint from sagging or trapping moisture in the finish. Always work in your garage or a patch of shade to keep the surface cool.

ensuring the right match

How to Find Your Jeep's Color Code

Jeep codes are difficult to find. In the good old days, they hid them on top of the radiator support, under engine grease and oil. Later models put them on the drivers door jamb. Typical format: BS/GBS; only BS is the color code (also QBS, PBS, TBS, etc.). The first letter is a "Year Code". BS corresponds to Deep Water Blue Pearl Clearcoat; the G in GBS is not part of the color code. Lately, Jeep lists just BS.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4" long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.
