Jeep Other Models Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Jeep has always been a brand that wears its personality on its sleeve-or rather, its hood. With 28 recorded colors for these models, they really went for it, offering everything from the bright, adventure-ready Sun Yellow and Sebring Red to the sophisticated, wood-paneled era vibes of Autumn Brown and Mocha Dark Brown Metallic. Whether you're rocking a classic Olympic White or the flashy Orange Bronze Metallic, these shades were designed to look just as good covered in trail dust as they do in a driveway.
What to Watch For
Before you start dabbing, you need to find your "birth certificate"-the paint code. On these Jeep models, it's a bit of a scavenger hunt: check the driver's side door jamb first, but if it's not there, take a peek at the firewall (the metal wall behind the engine) or the radiator support bar.
In terms of wear, these Jeeps are known for a bit of "character" building. Keep a close eye on the door hinges and handles; paint here tends to bubble or flake where different materials meet. You might also notice the clear coat on the hood or roof starting to look a little thirsty or "cloudy" after years of sun exposure. Don't worry, though-catching these spots early with a touch-up pen is the best way to keep that Deep Night Blue or Garnet Metallic from turning into a rust project.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since many of these heritage colors-like Adriatic Blue Pearl Metallic and Sterling Metallic-are packed with tiny flakes to give them that shimmer, you have to be the "human paint mixer." Shake your touch-up bottle or pen for a full 60 seconds (set a timer, your arm should get a little tired) to wake up those settled sparkles. When applying, think "less is more." Use the tip of the applicator to dab the paint into the center of the chip and let it spread itself out. Two thin, patient layers will always look better and stay put longer than one big, gloopy mountain of paint.
