2020 Jeep Wrangler Paint Codes

A complete guide to all 2020 Jeep Wrangler factory paint colors, codes, and touch-up application tips.

Quick Reference

Where to Find Your Paint Code

For any Jeep, including your 2020 Wrangler, the paint code is located on the driver's side door jamb. Open the driver's door and look for a black sticker on the B-pillar (the post between the front and back doors). This sticker contains a lot of information, including the date of manufacture, VIN, and tire pressure data.

You'll find the paint code at the bottom of this sticker, usually labeled as "PAINT". It's typically a three-character code (e.g., PW7, PSC, PRC).

If the sticker is missing or unreadable, a Jeep dealership parts department can always retrieve your vehicle's original paint code using your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).

Best Touch-Up Paint Sources

Once you have your code, finding the right touch-up paint is straightforward. Here are the most common and reliable sources:

• Dupli-Color: Widely available at auto parts stores like Advance Auto Parts and AutoZone. They offer paint pens and spray cans that are a good match for most common colors.
• AutomotiveTouchup.com: This online retailer specializes in perfectly matched automotive paint. They offer pens, bottles with brushes, and aerosol cans, along with all the necessary primers and clear coats.
• Tcoat: For a custom-mixed solution, Tcoat can provide a high-quality paint that precisely matches your factory color. This is a great option for more extensive repairs.
• Jeep Dealership: Your local dealer's parts department can sell you official Mopar touch-up pens or bottles that are guaranteed to match.

How to Use Touch-Up Paint

Achieving a near-perfect repair requires patience and the right process. Follow these steps for the best results:

1. Clean the Area: Thoroughly wash and dry the chip or scratch. Use a wax and grease remover to ensure the surface is perfectly clean.
2. Apply Primer: For deep scratches that go down to the metal, apply a thin layer of automotive primer. This prevents rust and helps the paint adhere properly. Let it dry completely.
3. Apply the Base Coat: Shake the paint pen or bottle well. Apply thin, even layers of your color-matched paint (the base coat). Allow each layer to dry for at least 30 minutes before applying the next. Build up the paint until it is level with the surrounding surface.
4. Apply the Clear Coat: After the base coat has fully cured (check the paint manufacturer's instructions), apply one or two thin layers of clear coat. This protects the paint and gives it the factory shine.

Color Matching Tips for Pearls and Tri-Coats

Metallic and pearl finishes (like Bikini Pearl and Punk'n Metallic) can be trickier to touch up because they contain metallic flakes that reflect light. The final appearance depends heavily on the application technique.

• Direction Matters: For aerosol sprays, always spray from the same direction to ensure the metallic flakes lay down uniformly.
• Blending is Key: When repairing a larger area, it's often necessary to "blend" the new paint into the existing finish to create a seamless transition.
• Tri-Coats: Some special colors are "tri-coats," meaning they have a base coat, a mid-coat (often with the pearl effect), and a clear coat. These are very difficult to touch up perfectly and may require professional assistance for a flawless result.

When in doubt, always confirm your paint code using your VIN at a dealer or a trusted paint supplier. For larger repairs or complex colors, achieving a perfect match can be challenging. For a guaranteed professional result, find a trusted body shop on Repairius.
