Jeep Jamaican Beige (2J) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color is a time capsule from the early eighties that perfectly captures the rugged transition of the Jeep brand. Whether you are patching up a CJ-7, a Scrambler, or a vintage Wagoneer, this shade defines an era of utility and outdoor adventure. It is a grounded, earthy tone that looks best when paired with black trim or woodgrain panels. Since your Jeep has likely spent the last forty years facing the elements, you might notice the original finish has matured, but this particular beige is famous for holding its character better than the brighter reds or blues of the same period.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, which is excellent news for your project. Unlike metallic paints that require you to worry about flake orientation or mottling, a solid pigment is much more predictable and easier to blend into your existing bodywork. The primary benefit of a solid beige is its ability to mask minor surface scratches and body filler work. The only real challenge is making sure you don't apply it too thick in a single pass. Solid colors show their depth quickly, so a patient approach will prevent the paint from looking heavy or uneven against the original factory coat.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Jeep Jamaican Beige (check for code 2J), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You will typically find your paint code stamped on a metal plate located on the firewall under the hood or occasionally on the driver side door frame. To ensure the pigment is mixed thoroughly, listen for the mixing ball to rattle freely before you begin. Test the color on the included card to verify the match against your specific panel. While applying the paint, keep the container moving to maintain a consistent flow and prevent any pooling. Allow for plenty of drying time between light layers rather than trying to achieve total coverage in one heavy application.
