VB/WVB - Copper Shino Metallic Jeep Touch Up Paint

The Look

Your Grand Cherokee wears a color that leans into a refined, earthy aesthetic rather than a loud, bright orange. This shade was a signature choice for the 2021 and 2022 models, intended to give the larger body style a more upscale, rugged presence. Since your vehicle has been on the road for a few seasons, the original finish has likely settled into its roles of hiding dust and catching the afternoon sun. It is a sophisticated color, but because it relies on heavy pigmentation to achieve that deep copper glow, it requires a little extra attention to ensure the repair does not look like a dark smudge on an otherwise bright panel.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means the paint is packed with tiny flakes that create the "shimmer" you see in direct light. Metallic paints are notorious for a phenomenon called mottling, where the flakes clump together and create dark spots or uneven stripes. If you apply the paint too thick or too fast, these flakes will not lay flat, and the repair will look like a different color even if the match is perfect. The goal is to keep those flakes suspended evenly so they reflect light at the same angle as the factory paint around them.

Best Practices

You can find your paint code on the silver VIN sticker located on the driver's side door jamb. Before you spray or dab Jeep Copper Shino Metallic (check for code VB/WVB), you need to shake the container for at least 60 seconds to wake up those metallic flakes. If you do not hear the mixing ball rattling freely, the flakes are still stuck at the bottom. Always test the color on the included card to ensure the shade matches your specific SUV before you move to the actual repair. Whether you are using a nozzle or a brush, keep the container moving and apply several thin layers rather than one heavy one. Work in a cool garage or the shade to ensure the drying time is consistent and gives the flakes a chance to settle properly.
