Jeep Bright White (GW7) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Whether it is coating a rugged Gladiator or a sleek Grand Cherokee, this is the most honest color in the Jeep lineup. It acts as a high-contrast canvas that makes black trim and off-road hardware pop. Since your Jeep has likely seen its share of trails or highway miles, you probably noticed that this shade provides a crisp, utilitarian vibe that never goes out of style. It brings a modern, clinical look to the Compass and Cherokee that manages to look expensive despite its simplicity.

Technical Details

This is a traditional solid finish, which is excellent news for your repair. Unlike metallics that require you to worry about how the flakes lay down or reflect light, this color relies on pure, heavy pigment. The lack of metallic or pearl particles makes it much easier to match. The trade-off is that solid whites are incredibly unforgiving when it comes to surface cleanliness. Before you apply Jeep Bright White (look for code GW7 on your driver-side door jamb), ensure the area is stripped of all wax and grease, or the new layer will not bond correctly.

Best Practices

Preparation is the only way to get a professional result in your garage. Shake your container for at least one full minute to ensure the pigments are thoroughly blended. Always test the color on the included card before touching the vehicle to verify the shade. When you begin, keep the container moving to ensure an even coat and avoid heavy buildup in one spot. Give the area plenty of drying time between layers to build up the depth you need for a flush finish. Once the color is level, a clear coat is necessary to provide the gloss and protection required to survive the elements.
