COLOR CODEOE - Dark Green MetallicJeep Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This is a deep, earthy forest shade that defines the transition into the eighties for AMC-era Jeeps. It captures a rugged, outdoorsy spirit that fits a vintage CJ or a classic Wagoneer perfectly. Because your Jeep has likely spent decades under the sun or on the trail, the original finish might show some age, but this pigment is designed to restore that heavy, masculine depth. In a garage or under heavy clouds, it can look nearly black, but the green reveals itself the moment you pull the vehicle out into the light.

Technical Details

As a metallic finish, this paint relies on tiny suspended flakes to create its signature glow. This means you have to be careful during application; if those flakes clump together, you might end up with dark patches or stripes where the color looks inconsistent. It is a sensitive finish that rewards patience and a steady hand to ensure the metallic particles lay down in a uniform pattern across the repair area. Without that uniform layout, the touch-up will catch the light at the wrong angles and stand out against the original bodywork.

Best Practices

To confirm your match, look for your metal data plate on the firewall inside the engine compartment-often near the master cylinder-or on the driver's door jamb. Before you spray or dab Jeep Dark Green Metallic (check for code OE), you need to shake it for at least sixty seconds to get those metallic flakes moving. If you do not hear the mixing ball rattling, the color will not look right. Test the color on the included card first to see how the light interacts with the metallic particles. Keep the container moving at a steady pace and allow plenty of drying time between thin layers to prevent the paint from bunching up.
