Your Paint Color Profile

RPP - Rocker Panel Paint (Flat Black)

The Look

Your 1996 Jeep was built to handle more than just a grocery run, and this specific black was designed to be the front line of defense. It is the industrial, no-nonsense trim color found on the lower sections of the Cherokee, Wrangler, and Grand Cherokee of that era. This is not a color meant to turn heads at a car show; it is a utility finish that exists to take a beating from gravel and mud while keeping the rest of the body looking sharp. Since your Jeep has been on the road for nearly three decades, this lower section has likely faded or succumbed to rock chips, making a refresh necessary to regain that rugged factory stance.

Technical Details

This is a solid, flat finish with absolutely no metallic flake or pearl to hide behind. Because it lacks a glossy sheen, it is excellent at masking minor scuffs or pits in the metal and plastic, but it is very honest about the texture underneath. Flat paints like this use heavy flattening agents that tend to sink to the bottom of the container, which can lead to an uneven, patchy look if you aren't careful. If you apply it too heavily in one spot, you might end up with a slight "milky" haze once it hits its final drying time. It absorbs light rather than reflecting it, so your goal is a consistent, thin layer that mimics the original plastic or textured steel.

Best Practices

On a 1996 model, you can usually find your paint code on the firewall near the brake master cylinder or on the driver's side door jamb sticker next to the "PNT" heading. Before you spray or dab Jeep Rocker Panel Paint (Flat Black) (check for code RPP), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This is non-negotiable for matte finishes because those flattening agents must be fully integrated to avoid shiny spots. Work in the shade or a cool garage to prevent the paint from drying before it hits the surface. Test the color on the included card first to ensure the darkness matches your aged trim. When applying, keep the container moving in steady passes to maintain a consistent flow from the nozzle or brush.

ensuring the right match

Find your Jeep paint code

Jeep codes are difficult to find. In the good old days, they hid them on top of the radiator support, under engine grease and oil. Later models put them on the drivers door jamb. Typical format: BS/GBS; only BS is the color code (also QBS, PBS, TBS, etc.). The first letter is a "Year Code". BS corresponds to Deep Water Blue Pearl Clearcoat; the G in GBS is not part of the color code. Lately, Jeep lists just BS.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4" long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.
