COLOR CODEQB/KQB - Navajo Turquoise MetallicJeep Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color is the visual heartbeat of the early nineties Jeep era. Whether it is plastered across a boxy Cherokee XJ or a square-headlight Wrangler YJ, this shade captures a specific moment in time when off-roaders traded utility grey for Southwest-inspired vibrance. It is a bold, nostalgic choice that stands out in a modern sea of white and silver. Since your Jeep has likely been through three decades of sun and trails, the original finish might have lost some of its depth, so adding a fresh layer of pigment will immediately bring back that rugged, adventurous personality your vehicle had when it first left the showroom.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means it contains tiny flakes designed to reflect light and provide depth. Metallics are more demanding than solid colors because if you apply the paint too heavily, those flakes will bunch together and create dark, uneven splotches known as mottling. To get the best result, you have to prioritize thin coats. If the paint goes on too wet, the metallic particles sink and shift, ruining the uniform look. Patience during the drying time is your best friend here, as it allows the flakes to lock into place exactly where they land.

Best Practices

You can find your paint information on the driver's door jamb or on a metal plate located on the firewall under the hood. Before you apply Jeep Navajo Turquoise Metallic (confirm you have code QB/KQB), you must shake the container vigorously for at least sixty seconds to ensure the metallic flakes are fully suspended in the mixture. Test the color on the included card to see how the flakes settle before moving to the actual vehicle. When you begin, keep the container moving to ensure a light, even distribution and avoid any heavy buildup. Work in the shade or a cool garage to keep the surface temperature down, allowing the paint to lay flat and bond properly.
