COLOR CODEPX/RPX - Patriot Blue PearlJeep Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Your 2017 Cherokee carries a color that was only around for a short window, making it a bit more unique than the standard silvers and whites found in every parking lot. This shade is a deep, moody blue that behaves like a chameleon. In the shade or under garage lights, it pulls toward a midnight navy, but once the sun hits it, those blue undertones really wake up. Because your Jeep has likely spent years on the road, you probably appreciate that this dark hue hides light road film and dust much better than a flat black would.

Technical Details

This is a pearl finish, which is a step up in complexity from a basic metallic. Instead of just metal flakes, it uses mica particles to create that sense of depth. The main challenge with a pearl like this is consistency. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the mica particles can "clump" or sink, which leads to a mottled look where the color appears darker or blotchy in patches. Keeping your layers light is the key to making sure the finish looks uniform across the repair area.

Best Practices

You can find your color information on the driver's side door jamb, usually on a silver or white sticker listed next to the letters "PNT." Before you spray or dab Jeep Patriot Blue Pearl (check for code PX/RPX), you need to shake it for at least 60 seconds to ensure the heavy pearl particles are fully suspended. Always test the color on the included card to see how the flakes settle before you touch the car. Whether you are using a nozzle or a brush, keep the container moving and apply multiple thin coats. Give each layer plenty of drying time so the paint doesn't sag or pool, which preserves that factory-correct glow.
