Where to find your paint code

FCA (Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, now Stellantis) makes it relatively easy to find your Jeep’s paint code.

For the 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee, the paint code is located on the vehicle information sticker inside the driver’s side door jamb.

1. Open the driver's side door.
2. Look at the B-pillar (the frame where the door latches) or the edge of the door itself.
3. Locate the black-and-white or yellow-and-white manufacturer sticker containing the VIN, tire pressures, and vehicle weights.
4. Look for the letters "PNT:" followed by a three-character code (e.g., PNT: PXJ). That three-character alphanumeric string is your official paint code.

Best touch-up paint sources

Getting a high-quality paint match is essential. Here are the most popular and reliable sources for 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee touch-up paint:

• AutomotiveTouchup: Highly recommended for spray cans, paint pens, and bulk liquid paint. They custom-mix paint based on your exact FCA paint code, ensuring a highly accurate match even for complex metallic and pearl finishes.
• Mopar / Jeep Dealership: For minor rock chips, an OEM Mopar touch-up pen from the dealer is a fantastic, inexpensive option. It guarantees the factory mix and usually comes with a clear coat applicator built-in.
• Dupli-Color: A great off-the-shelf option available at most local auto parts stores. Look for the Chrysler/Jeep Exact-Match line. It’s perfect for quick fixes on solid colors like Bright White (PW7).
• Tcoat Custom-Mix: Another excellent online retailer that provides premium custom-mixed touch-up kits, often including specialized applicators for filling deep scratches.

How to use touch-up paint

For a repair that blends seamlessly and protects your Jeep’s body panels from rust, follow these standard touch-up steps:

1. Clean and Prep: Wash the area thoroughly. Use a wax and grease remover or rubbing alcohol to eliminate any contaminants, dirt, or leftover wax inside the scratch.
2. Apply Primer (if needed): If the scratch goes down to the bare metal or plastic, apply a light coat of automotive primer. Let it dry completely.
3. Apply Base Coat: Shake your paint pen or bottle vigorously. Dab the paint lightly into the chip or scratch using a fine-tipped brush or toothpick. Do not glob it on. Apply 2-3 thin layers, waiting 15-20 minutes between each layer.
4. Apply Clear Coat: Once the color coat is completely dry (usually after 30-60 minutes), apply the clear coat. The clear coat provides the glossy finish and protects the paint from UV damage and weather.
5. Polish (Optional): After curing for a few days, lightly polish the area with a mild rubbing compound to blend the edges of the repair with the surrounding factory clear coat.

Color matching tips for pearls and tri-coats

If your Grand Cherokee is painted in a complex color like Ivory 3-Coat (PWD) or Diamond Black Crystal Pearl (PXJ), a perfect match requires extra care.

• Tri-Coats: Colors like Ivory 3-Coat require two distinct color steps before the clear coat: a solid base coat, followed by a translucent pearl mid-coat. You must buy a specific tri-coat touch-up kit. Apply the mid-coat very sparingly; the more layers of pearl you add, the darker and more yellow the paint will look.
• Pearls and Metallics: Metallic flakes can settle at the bottom of the paint bottle or pen. Shake the paint frequently during application to ensure the flakes are evenly distributed.
• Test First: Always test your paint (especially custom-mixed aerosols) on a piece of cardboard or scrap metal to verify the color match and practice your spraying technique before applying it to your Jeep.

If the damage is larger than a quarter, DIY touch-up paint may leave a highly visible, textured repair. For larger scuffs, deep bumper gouges, or panel damage, professional blending is required.
