Where to Find Your Paint Code
On your 2016 Jeep Wrangler, the paint code is located on the driver's side door jamb. Open the driver's door and look for a sticker on the B-pillar (the post between the front and rear doors). This sticker contains various vehicle information, including the VIN, and you'll find the paint code listed next to "PAINT". It will be a three-digit code, often starting with "P".
Best Touch-up Paint Sources
- Dupli-Color: Widely available at auto parts stores, Dupli-Color offers a range of popular Jeep colors in spray cans and touch-up pens.
- AutomotiveTouchup: This online retailer provides custom-mixed paint to match your specific factory color code, available in pens, bottles, and aerosol cans.
- T-Coat Custom Mix: For a precise match, especially for pearls and metallics, a local automotive paint supplier can mix a small batch of paint based on your code.
- Jeep Dealership: Your local Jeep dealer can provide you with factory touch-up paint, though it may be a more expensive option.
How to Use Touch-up Paint
- Clean the Area: Thoroughly wash and dry the area to be repaired. Use a wax and grease remover to ensure a clean surface.
- Apply Primer: If the scratch is down to the bare metal, apply a thin coat of automotive primer to the area.
- Apply Base Coat: Once the primer is dry, apply thin, even coats of the base color, allowing each coat to dry before applying the next.
- Apply Clear Coat: After the base coat is dry, apply a clear coat to protect the paint and provide a glossy finish.
Color Matching Tips for Pearls and Tri-Coats
Pearl and tri-coat paints can be tricky to match. These paints have a mid-coat that contains the pearl or metallic flakes, which can affect the final color. When touching up these colors, it's crucial to apply the paint in the same direction as the original paint job to ensure the flakes are aligned correctly. It's also recommended to use a test card to check the color match before applying it to the vehicle.
