Jeep SJ Truck Touch Up Paint (9 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

The Jeep SJ Truck-the legendary J10s and J20s-didn't just come in colors; it came in "lifestyles." We have 9 recorded colors for these heavy-duty beauties, ranging from the caffeinated Coffee to the bold Colorado Red and the surprisingly fancy Grenadine Metallic. Whether your truck is a rugged workhorse or a weekend cruiser, Jeep really leaned into that earth-toned, go-anywhere palette.

What to Watch For

Before you pop that touch-up cap, you need to find your identity. On these classic SJ platforms, your paint code is hiding on a metal tag riveted to the firewall inside the engine bay (usually near the heater box or brake booster). These old-school finishes were often "single-stage," which means they don't just peel like modern cars-they "chalk." If you rub your hand across the paint and it comes away looking like you just touched a chalkboard, that's oxidation. You'll also want to look closely at the lower door seams and cab corners; these trucks love to collect a little "trail character" (rust) there, which can make the paint around it feel a bit brittle.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since many of these colors-especially Grenadine Metallic and Medium Suede Metallic-rely on older metallic flakes, your bottle of touch-up paint is basically a snow globe. Give it a vigorous shake for a full two minutes to make sure those sparkles are actually in the mix and not stuck at the bottom. When applying, remember that these classic trucks have a thicker paint feel. Instead of trying to fill a chip with one big glob, use the "stamp" method: gently dab the tip of the brush or pen into the center of the chip and let the paint flow to the edges. It requires patience, but it's the best way to keep your SJ looking like a classic rather than a project.
