COLOR CODEPGP - MintyJeep Touch-Up Paint

The Look

You are driving a piece of 2023 history. This color was a short-run special for the Wrangler, often appearing in catalogs under the name "Earl," though you likely know it by its more refreshing title. It is a complex, desaturated green that sits somewhere between a stormy sea and a military uniform. Since your vehicle is built for the trail, you have probably noticed that this shade is a champion at hiding light road dust and dried mud. However, because it is so distinct, a deep rock chip stands out like a sore thumb against the flat, cool tone of the body panels.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, which is the best news you could hear before starting a repair. Unlike the metallic paints found on many other Jeeps, there are no tiny flakes of aluminum or pearl inside this mixture. This means you do not have to worry about "mottling," where the flakes bunch up and create dark streaks or shadows in your finish. The challenge with a solid color is the transition; because the paint is so opaque, you need to be careful with your edges. If you apply it too heavily in one spot, you will see a visible ridge where the new paint meets the old.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Jeep Minty (check for code PGP), you need to shake the container for at least sixty seconds to ensure the pigments are fully integrated. You can find your specific paint code printed on the VIN sticker located on the driver's side door jamb. Once you are ready, always test the color on the included card to verify the match before you touch the vehicle. Work in a cool garage or the shade to keep the surface temperature down. When applying the paint, keep the container moving and use several thin layers rather than one heavy coat. Give each layer plenty of drying time so the finish sets flat and flush with the surrounding area.
