2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Paint Color Codes & Touch-Up Guide

If you are looking to fix a rock chip, repair a bumper scrape, or perform a complete panel respray on your 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee, getting the exact factory paint match is critical. Chrysler/FCA produced a stunning array of colors for the Grand Cherokee in 2015, ranging from classic solids to deep, multi-dimensional pearls. Below is your comprehensive guide to finding your Jeep’s paint code, sourcing the best touch-up paint, and applying it flawlessly.

Quick reference

Here are the factory paint colors offered for the 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Always verify your specific code before ordering paint, as some colors appear similar in photographs but have different metallic or pearl flakes.

Note: If you are uncertain about a specific color, confirm it via your VIN at a local Jeep dealer or automotive paint supplier.

Where to find your paint code

To ensure a perfect match, you need to find the official factory paint code on your vehicle. For the 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee (and most modern Chrysler/FCA vehicles), this information is printed on the Vehicle Certification Label.

1. Check the Driver’s Side Door Jamb: Open the driver’s side front door and look at the B-pillar (the vertical frame behind the door) or the edge of the door itself.
2. Locate the Sticker: Look for a black and white (or sometimes black, white, and yellow) barcode sticker containing your VIN, tire pressure data, and manufacturing dates.
3. Find the "PNT" Code: At the bottom of this label, there will be a line reading "PNT:" followed by a three-digit code (e.g., PNT: PAU). This is your exact factory color code.

If your sticker is faded, damaged, or missing, you can call any Jeep dealership parts department. Give them your 17-digit VIN, and they can look up your exact paint code in their database.

Best touch-up paint sources

When it comes to purchasing touch-up paint for your Grand Cherokee, you have several reliable options depending on the size of the repair:

• Dealer / Mopar Factory Paint: For tiny rock chips, your local Jeep dealership sells small touch-up pens and brushes perfectly matched to the OEM specifications.
• AutomotiveTouchup: One of the most popular online sources for DIYers. They offer custom-mixed paint in bottles, aerosol spray cans, and ready-to-spray pints/quarts based on your exact FCA paint code.
• Dupli-Color: Available at most local auto parts stores, Dupli-Color offers exact-match aerosol cans and 2-in-1 scratch fix pens. They are highly convenient for quick weekend projects.
• Tcoat Custom-Mix: Tcoat and other premium automotive paint suppliers provide professional-grade custom mixes that are excellent for larger panel repairs or demanding multi-stage paint jobs.

How to use touch-up paint

Achieving a professional-looking repair at home requires patience and proper preparation. Follow these steps for the best results:

1. Clean the Area: Thoroughly wash the damaged area with soap and water. Follow up with a wax and grease remover (or rubbing alcohol) to ensure no contaminants prevent the paint from adhering.
2. Apply Primer (If Needed): If the scratch goes all the way down to bare metal or plastic, apply a thin coat of automotive primer. Let it dry completely.
3. Apply the Base Coat: Shake your paint pen, bottle, or aerosol can vigorously. Apply the color in light, thin layers. Do not try to fill the scratch in a single heavy pass, as this will cause runs. Allow 15-20 minutes of drying time between each coat until the color is even.
4. Apply Clear Coat: Modern Jeep paints are "basecoat/clearcoat" systems. The base color will look dull until the clear coat is applied. Once the color coat is dry, apply 2 to 3 thin layers of clear coat to protect the repair and restore the factory gloss.

Color matching tips for pearls and tri-coats

Many of the most popular 2015 Grand Cherokee colors, such as Deep Cherry Red Crystal Pearl (PRP) and Brilliant Black Crystal Pearl (PXR), contain complex metallic and pearl flakes.

• Temperature Matters: Apply paint in a shaded, well-ventilated area with temperatures between 70°F and 80°F. Extreme heat or cold can alter how metallic flakes lay down, changing the final color.
• Test Before Applying: Always test your custom-mixed paint on a piece of scrap metal or heavy cardboard first. Compare it to your Jeep in direct sunlight to ensure the pearl reflects correctly.
• Blending: For larger aerosol repairs on pearl finishes, you will need to "blend" the new paint into the old paint by lightly feathering the edges of your spray pattern, rather than creating a hard taped-off line.
