If you are looking to touch up rock chips, fix a door ding, or color-match aftermarket accessories for your 2024 Jeep Gladiator, getting the exact factory paint code is the crucial first step. Jeep offers the Gladiator in a variety of rugged, eye-catching, and classic colors for the 2024 model year.

This guide provides a comprehensive breakdown of the 2024 Jeep Gladiator paint codes, where to locate your specific code, the best places to buy touch-up paint, and pro tips for a seamless repair.

Quick reference: 2024 Jeep Gladiator Paint Codes

Below is the list of factory paint colors offered for the 2024 Jeep Gladiator. If you are unsure which color your truck is, always verify using your vehicle's paint code rather than guessing by eye.

Color Name	Paint Code	Type (Solid / Metallic / Pearl)
Bright White	PW7	Solid
Black Clearcoat	PX8	Solid
Firecracker Red	PRC	Solid
Sarge Green	PGG	Solid
Granite Crystal Metallic	PAU	Metallic
Silver Zynith	PSE	Metallic
Hydro Blue Pearl	PBJ	Pearl
High Velocity	PJF	Solid / Clearcoat
Anvil	PDS	Solid / Clearcoat

Note: Jeep paint codes are typically three digits. The first letter "P" stands for primary paint. Always confirm your exact code via your VIN at a dealer or paint supplier if you are uncertain.

Where to find your paint code

Finding the exact paint code on your 2024 Jeep Gladiator is straightforward. Jeep places this information on the Vehicle Certification Label (also known as the VIN sticker).

1. Driver’s Side Door Jamb: Open the driver’s side front door. Look at the B-pillar (the vertical metal post where the door latches) or the edge of the door itself.
2. Locate the Sticker: You will see a barcode sticker containing your VIN, tire pressure info, and manufacturing date.
3. Find the "PNT" Code: Look toward the bottom of this sticker. You will see the letters PNT: followed by a three-digit code (e.g., PNT: PW7). This three-letter/number combination is your exterior paint code.

If your sticker is missing, damaged, or unreadable, you can call any Jeep dealership's parts department, give them your 17-digit VIN, and they will give you your exact paint code.

Best touch-up paint sources

Once you have your code, you need high-quality paint to make a proper repair. Here are the most trusted sources for Jeep paint:

• The Dealership (Mopar): For small rock chips, the OEM Mopar touch-up paint pens from your local Jeep dealer are excellent and guarantee a factory match. They usually feature an abrasive tip, a paint pen, a brush, and clear coat all in one tube.
• AutomotiveTouchup: Highly recommended for larger repairs, AutomotiveTouchup provides custom-mixed aerosol spray cans, half-ounce bottles, and paint pens. They are known for superior color matching, especially on metallics like Granite Crystal.
• Dupli-Color: A readily available option at most local auto parts stores. Dupli-Color’s Exact-Match line is great for quick, budget-friendly fixes, though their selection of newer or rarer Jeep colors (like High Velocity) might be limited.
• Tcoat Custom-Mix: Tcoat and other premium online custom mixers formulate paint exactly to your OEM code, compensating for slight factory batch variations.

How to use touch-up paint

Achieving a professional-looking result requires patience and preparation. Follow these steps for the best results:

1. Clean: Thoroughly wash the area with soap and water. Once dry, wipe the chip or scratch with wax and grease remover or rubbing alcohol. You want a completely bare, clean surface.
2. Primer: If the scratch goes down to the bare metal or plastic, apply a very light dab of automotive primer. Let it dry completely (usually 30 minutes).
3. Base Coat (Color): Apply the color coat in thin, light layers. Do not glob the paint on. If using a pen or brush, dab the paint into the chip rather than brushing it. Wait 15 to 20 minutes between coats until the color covers the primer entirely.
4. Clear Coat: Once the base coat is fully dry (wait at least an hour), apply the clear coat. The clear coat protects the paint and provides the glossy finish that matches the rest of your Gladiator.

Color matching tips for pearls and tri-coats

If your Jeep is painted in a pearl coat (like Hydro Blue Pearl PBJ), achieving a perfect match can be slightly more challenging than matching a solid color like Bright White.

• Agitate the Paint: Metallic flakes and pearl additives settle at the bottom of the bottle or can. Shake the paint vigorously for at least two minutes before applying, and continue to shake it frequently during the process.
• Testing: Always test your touch-up paint on a piece of cardboard or scrap metal before applying it to your Jeep. Compare it in direct sunlight to ensure the flake density and hue match.
• Tri-Coats: If you ever encounter a tri-coat paint, remember that it requires a base color coat, a mid-coat (which contains the pearl/flake), and a clear coat. You must apply the mid-coat carefully, as adding too many layers will make the spot darker than the surrounding paint.

Even with the best touch-up paint, some scratches and dents are just too large for a DIY fix. For professional blending, dent repair, and major paint correction, leave it to the pros.
