MA/RMA/806 - Bronze Metallic Jeep Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color was a brief but memorable moment for the 2018 Jeep Compass, offering a sophisticated alternative to the usual sea of greys and blacks. It bridges the gap between a rugged off-road aesthetic and a high-end city finish. Because it is an earth tone, it handles road dust and light mud with more grace than most colors, making your Compass look cleaner than it actually is after a weekend trip. Since your vehicle has been out in the elements for a few years now, you will notice that this shade holds its depth well, provided you manage the metallic flake correctly during your touch-up.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, which means the paint is packed with tiny flakes that catch the light to create that bronze glow. The risk here is mottling. If the flakes don't lay down evenly, the repair will look darker or "patchy" compared to the rest of the door or hood. You want those particles to float evenly in the finish rather than sinking into a clump. Achieving a professional look in your garage requires patience and thin layers; if you apply it too heavily in one pass, the bronze will lose its shimmer and look like a flat brown smudge.

Best Practices

Pop your driver's side door and look at the VIN sticker on the jamb to confirm you are using Jeep Bronze Metallic (code MA/RMA/806). Before you start, shake the container for at least sixty seconds to ensure the heavy metallic pigments are fully integrated. Test the color on the included card before touching the car to verify the match. When you begin, keep the container moving to ensure an even flow of pigment. Avoid the temptation to fill a chip in one thick glob. Instead, build the color slowly and give it plenty of drying time between applications to ensure the finish remains level and bright.
