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

Mineral Gray Metallic

The Look

This color defined the era when your Jeep started looking as good in the city as it did on the trail. Between 2011 and 2014, this shade gave the Grand Cherokee and the Liberty a heavy, mechanical presence that hides road salt and dust far better than a standard black or silver. Since your vehicle has been on the road for a decade or more, you appreciate how the original finish has a deep, charcoal-like character that feels more like forged iron than simple paint. It remains a favorite for Patriot and Compass owners because it balances a rugged aesthetic with a clean, modern edge.

Technical Details

This is a true Metallic finish, which means it relies on tiny flakes to catch the light and create depth. Because those flakes are suspended in the liquid, they have a tendency to settle at the bottom of the container. If you do not mix them, you risk a patch where the color appears dark in some spots and light in others. Metallic paints like this one can look blotchy if the paint goes on too heavy or in thick clumps. To avoid dark rings or stripes, you must maintain a consistent flow and stay focused on thin, even layers rather than trying to cover the damage in one pass.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Jeep Mineral Gray Metallic (check for code DM/CDM), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This ensures those heavy metallic particles are distributed so the repair matches the rest of your door or fender. You will find your paint code on the VIN sticker located inside the driver's side door jamb, near the bottom of the label. Before applying any paint to your vehicle, test the color on the included card to verify the match against your current finish. When you start the repair, keep the container moving at all times to prevent the metal flakes from pooling. If you are using a pen or brush, avoid dabbing the same spot over and over while it is wet, as this will disturb the flake orientation. Give the paint plenty of drying time between layers to ensure the final result stays level and smooth.

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 'DM/CDM', 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.
