Where to find your paint code

Locating the paint code on a 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee is straightforward. Jeep places the Vehicle Certification Label (a black and white or yellow and white sticker) in a highly visible location.

1. Open the driver’s side door.
2. Inspect the door jamb / B-pillar. Look at the latch pillar (the vertical metal post where the door latches closed) and the edge of the door itself.
3. Find the label. Locate the sticker containing the vehicle's VIN, tire pressure info, and manufacturing date.
4. Locate the "PNT" code. At the bottom or lower-left section of this sticker, look for the letters PNT:. The three-digit alphanumeric code immediately following it (e.g., PNT: PXJ) is your exact paint code.

Best touch-up paint sources

Once you have your three-digit code, you have several reliable options for purchasing high-quality touch-up paint:

• AutomotiveTouchup: One of the best online sources for custom-mixed paint. They formulate their batches precisely to the factory code and offer it in pens, brush bottles, aerosol cans, and ready-to-spray pints/quarts for larger spray gun jobs.
• Dupli-Color: A highly accessible option found at most major auto parts stores (like AutoZone or O'Reilly). They offer Exact-Match pens and aerosols. They are excellent for solid colors like Bright White (PW7).
• Mopar / Local Jeep Dealer: For peace of mind, buying an OEM Mopar touch-up pen directly from the Jeep dealership parts counter guarantees an exact match from the manufacturer.
• Tcoat Custom-Mix: Great for professional-grade touch-ups and slightly faded paint matching, as they can sometimes adjust the mix based on the vehicle's age.

How to use touch-up paint

For minor rock chips and scratches, follow these steps to achieve a seamless repair:

1. Clean the area: Wash the scratched area with automotive soap and water. Once dry, wipe it down with a wax and grease remover or rubbing alcohol to ensure the paint adheres properly.
2. Apply primer (if needed): If the scratch goes all the way down to the bare metal or plastic, apply a very light coat of automotive primer. Let it dry completely.
3. Apply the base coat: Using a fine-tipped brush, pen, or toothpick, carefully dab the color coat into the chip or scratch. Do not brush it; "drop" the paint in so it levels out. Apply 2-3 thin layers, waiting 15-20 minutes between each coat.
4. Apply the clear coat: Once the base coat is fully dry (usually after a few hours), apply the clear coat over the top to seal the repair and match the factory gloss.

Color matching tips for pearls and tri-coats

The 2022 Grand Cherokee offers several complex colors, such as Velvet Red Pearlcoat and Diamond Black Crystal Pearlcoat. These finishes contain metallic flakes and pearlescent mica that reflect light differently depending on the angle.

• Tri-coats require patience: If your color is a tri-coat, your touch-up kit will come with a ground coat (base) and a mid-coat (pearl). You must practice on a piece of scrap metal or cardboard first to determine how many layers of the mid-coat are needed to match the factory depth.
• Shake vigorously: Pearl and metallic flakes settle quickly 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.
• Blend the edges: For spray aerosol touch-ups on metallic paints, blending the edges into the surrounding panels is critical to avoid harsh lines.

If your paint damage goes beyond a simple rock chip or scratch, it might be time to call in the professionals to ensure the complex pearl finishes are blended perfectly.
