Jeep Dark Tan (Interior) (86P84) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This is the soul of the 1988 cabin. Whether you are refurbishing a rugged Comanche, a Cherokee, or the leather-heavy interior of a Grand Wagoneer, this shade defined the late AMC and early Chrysler era. It is a deep, earthy tone that was designed to complement the wood-grain dash and chrome accents of the SJ Truck line. Because your interior has likely faced decades of UV exposure and heat, expect this fresh pigment to look richer and deeper than the surrounding aged plastic. It is a workhorse color that hides dust and scuffs well, which is why it remained a staple for the 1988 model year.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish. You do not have to worry about metallic flakes or pearl highlights, which makes your repair much simpler than a body panel job. The main challenge with an interior solid like this is matching the level of gloss. If you apply the paint too heavily, the patch will look shiny and plastic-like against the original matte or satin texture of the dash. A solid finish is forgiving during the application process, but it demands thin layers to ensure the original grain of the plastic or vinyl still shows through after the paint dries.

Best Practices

You will usually find your trim data on the metal tag located on the driver's side firewall or inside the door jamb. Before you spray or dab Jeep Dark Tan (Interior) (check for code 86P84), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure the heavy interior pigments are fully mixed. Always test the color on the included card before you touch the vehicle to see how the tone sits under your specific interior lighting. Whether you are using a pen or a can, keep the container moving to prevent puddling in the grain of the trim. Allow plenty of drying time between light coats to build a durable, factory-looking finish that won't peel when the interior gets hot in the summer.
