COLOR CODEH1/SH1Jeep MagentaTouch-Up Paint for Jeep

The Look

Owning a vehicle in this color means you embrace the bold, experimental energy of the mid-1990s. This shade was a short-lived firecracker, appearing on everything from the rugged Wrangler to the boxy Cherokee for only two years. Since your Jeep has likely been traversing trails or soaking up sun for nearly three decades, the original finish has probably matured. This deep, saturated pink-purple is a head-turner that refuses to blend into the background of modern grayscale traffic.

Technical Details

This finish is a Pearl, which gives it that distinctive glow when the sun hits the body lines. These pearl particles are what make the color shift, but they require a bit of respect during application. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the mica flakes will settle unevenly, creating dark patches or stripes. Before you spray or dab Jeep Magenta (check for code H1/SH1), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This ensures those tiny pearl flakes are suspended evenly so the repair matches the depth of the factory panels.

Best Practices

You can usually find your identification tag on the radiator support bar under the hood or printed on the driver side door jamb sticker. Once you have located it, focus on your environment. Work in a Garage or a patch of Shade to keep the metal cool. When you start, test the color on the included card to see how the pearl behaves. Keep the container moving at a steady pace to maintain a consistent flow. If you are using a Pen or Brush for small chips, use thin layers rather than one large glob. Give each layer enough drying time to settle before adding the next. This patience prevents the color from looking too dark and helps the repair disappear into the original lines of your Jeep.
