Jeep Autumn Red Metallic (7C) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color captures a specific era of American adventure from the late seventies. When Jeep moved away from basic utility tones, they embraced these warm, earthy shades that defined the AMC years. Whether you are restoring a CJ-7 Renegade or a classic Wagoneer, this deep red carries a heavy, sophisticated presence that modern flat paints cannot replicate. It is a rustic, canyon-inspired hue that transforms when the sun hits the metal, shifting from a quiet brick red to a glowing copper.


Technical Details

Since this is a metallic finish, you are dealing with tiny flakes suspended in the pigment. These particles are prone to settling at the bottom of the container, which can lead to dark spots or a mottled look if they are not distributed properly. If the flakes bunch up, the repair will look like a different shade entirely. You must maintain a steady flow and consistent movement to prevent the metal from pooling in one spot. Working in your garage or a cool patch of shade will help the paint lay flat and prevent the metallic bits from shifting while the surface begins to set.


Best Practices

You will typically find your data plate attached to the firewall inside the engine compartment or mounted near the driver side dashboard. Before you spray or dab Jeep Autumn Red Metallic (check for code 7C), you need to shake the container vigorously for at least sixty seconds to wake up the settled metallic flakes. Test the color on the included card first to ensure the flake density matches your original paint. Keep the container moving at all times during application to avoid heavy buildup. Make sure to allow for plenty of drying time between your layers so the finish stays crisp and the metallic particles lock firmly into place.
