Where to find Jeep color code

How to Find Your Jeep's Color Code

Jeep codes are difficult to find. In the good old days, they hid them on top of the radiator support, under engine grease and oil. Later models put them on the drivers door jamb. Typical format: BS/GBS; only BS is the color code (also QBS, PBS, TBS, etc.). The first letter is a "Year Code". BS corresponds to Deep Water Blue Pearl Clearcoat; the G in GBS is not part of the color code. Lately, Jeep lists just BS.

Your Paint Color Profile

Destroyer Gray

The Look

You are looking at the modern standard for tactical style. Whether it is on your Cherokee or a Grand Cherokee, this color mimics the flat, industrial appearance of a naval vessel or wet concrete. While other brands tried to copy this aesthetic, Jeep perfected it by making your Renegade or Compass look rugged enough for a trail even when it is sitting in a grocery store parking lot. Because your vehicle has likely been on the road for a few years, you might notice the original finish has deepened or slightly changed under the sun. This color lacks the shimmer of traditional paints, which gives it a flat, heavy presence that hides road grime surprisingly well.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, meaning it contains zero metallic flakes or pearls. While that makes your life easier because you do not have to worry about metallic particles clumping together or looking striped, it means your surface preparation is everything. Every tiny bump or speck of dust will stand out against this flat field of gray. Before you spray or dab Jeep Destroyer Gray (check for code DN/PDN/503B), you need to realize that this color relies on a deep, consistent coat to look right. If you apply it too thin, it may look translucent; if you go too heavy, you risk runs that are very obvious on a non-metallic surface.

Best Practices

Start by opening your driver's side door and looking at the safety sticker on the jamb; you will find the code listed next to the "PNT" or "Paint" heading. Once you have confirmed the match, shake your container for a full two minutes. Solid pigments are heavy and settle at the bottom, so mixing is the only way to get the correct tone. Test the color on the included card to ensure the shade matches your current aging paint. When you are ready to apply, work in a cool garage or under a patch of shade to keep the surface temperature down. Keep the container moving at all times to ensure the flow remains even across the repair area. Once the color is down, give it plenty of drying time before you apply a clear topcoat to seal the repair.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4” long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find my vehicle’s paint code?

Your paint code is usually found in the driver’s door jamb, trunk, or under the hood. See our Jeep Paint Code Guide for detailed instructions.

Will this paint match my car?

Yes. If your Jeep's color code is 'DN/PDN/503B', your paint is custom-mixed to factory specs and backed by our Color Match Guarantee. If the paint does not match your Jeep, we will send you a replacement or refund.

Do I need primer and clearcoat?

While primer is recommended on bare metal or plastic, clearcoat is essential: it protects the basecoat and restores factory gloss.

How long does shipping take?

Orders are mixed fresh and ship within 3–5 business days. Delivery takes 2–14 days depending on location.

Which touch up product should I choose?

 It depends on the size of the damage:

  • Paint Pen (½ oz) – Best for very small chips and fine scratches.
  • Brush Bottle (2 oz) – Great for medium chips or scratches up to the size of a quarter.
  • Spray Can – Ideal for larger areas and panels.
  • Professional Sizes (Pint, Quart, Gallon) – Designed for full panel and vehicle resprays using spray equipment.

Not sure? If it’s just rock chips or small scratches, start with a Paint Pen.

Can I return my order?

Yes! If there’s a color match issue, we’ll replace the product or give you your money back. You also can return unopened, non-custom accessories for a full refund.

How long will the paint last in storage?

Paint pens and bottles last about a year if stored cool and dry. Spray cans can last several years if the nozzle is cleaned.
