Jeep Black (PX8) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This is the definitive shade of the modern Jeep era. Whether it is on a rugged Commander or a sophisticated Grand Cherokee, this color offers a deep, ink-like depth that other shades cannot match. It gives your vehicle a heavy, grounded presence that feels both tactical and high-end. If you drive a Cherokee or a Compass in this color, you already know the trade-off: it looks incredible when clean, but it acts like a magnet for dust and reveals every tiny swirl mark from the local car wash. It is a high-maintenance relationship, but the visual payoff is worth the extra care.

Technical Details

You are working with a true solid finish. Unlike the metallic blacks that use silver flakes to hide imperfections, this paint relies on pure pigment. Because there is no sparkle to distract the eye, your repair work needs to be level and smooth. Any high spots or drips will stand out because the light reflects off a solid surface like a mirror. If your Jeep has spent years out in the sun or on narrow trails, the original finish might have faded or picked up light scratches. A solid black is easier to match in terms of color, but it is less forgiving if you apply it too thick in one go.

Best Practices

You will usually find the identification sticker on the driver side door jamb, though you can check the firewall if it is an older model. Before you spray or dab Jeep Black (check for code PX8), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure the pigment is uniform. Test the color on the included card to verify the shade before you touch the car. When applying, keep the container moving to avoid puddles. Use thin layers and allow for plenty of drying time between each one. If you are using a pen or brush for small chips, dab the paint into the center of the chip and let it flow to the edges rather than wiping it across the surface. Once you finish, stay in the garage or the shade until the surface is completely firm to the touch.
