Jeep Midnight Sky Pearl (CQ/WCQ) Touch Up Paint

The Look

You are dealing with the color Jeep chose to introduce the world to its most expensive SUVs. This shade made its debut as a flagship option for the Grand Wagoneer and the three-row Grand Cherokee, and it carries that premium weight. It is a deep, moody indigo that acts like a chameleon. In your garage or under a night sky, it looks almost black. Once you pull it into the sunlight, the blue depths wake up. Because your vehicle has been on the road since 2021 or 2022, the factory finish should still have its original luster, so your goal is to match that high-end depth without making the repair look flat.

Technical Details

This is a pearl-coat finish, which means it contains microscopic mica flakes that reflect light at different angles. Pearl finishes carry a risk of mottling-those dark, cloudy spots that happen when the flakes do not lay down in a uniform way. If the paint goes on too heavy in one spot, the pearls cluster together and ruin the light-shifting effect. Before you spray or dab Jeep Midnight Sky Pearl (check for code CQ/WCQ), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This is the only way to get those heavy pearl particles off the bottom of the container and back into the mix where they belong.

Best Practices

You will find your color code on the manufacturer sticker on the driver's side door jamb. Before you start the repair, test the color on the included card to see how the blue highlights appear under different light sources. Keep the container moving at a consistent pace to ensure the mica flakes distribute in a uniform layer across the surface. If you are using a brush or pen, apply the paint in thin layers and allow plenty of drying time between each one. Building the color in stages prevents the dark blue base from becoming too thick and masking the pearl effect that gives your Jeep its character.
