Jeep Silver Gray Metallic (SN/NSN/348) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Since your Compass or Renegade has likely spent its life navigating tight city streets and gravel paths, you know that silver is the ultimate camouflage for road dust and light scuffs. This specific shade provides a technical, industrial edge that makes the compact frames of these Jeeps look more substantial and modern. It is a workhorse color that lacks the high-maintenance ego of a black finish, but it still demands respect when you are filling in those pesky stone chips.

Technical Details

Before you spray or dab Jeep Silver Gray Metallic (check for code SN/NSN/348), you need to understand that this is a metallic finish, not a solid grey. It relies on thousands of microscopic flakes to catch the light. The risk here is mottling-those uneven dark patches that happen if the flakes settle in clumps rather than lying flat. Because this is a basecoat, the paint will look flat or dull when it first dries. Do not panic; the depth and shine only appear once you apply the clear coat.

Best Practices

You will usually find your paint code on a silver or white sticker located on the driver's side door jamb or the B-pillar. Before you start, shake the container for at least sixty seconds. Those metallic flakes are heavy and love to sink to the bottom; if you do not mix them thoroughly, your repair will look darker than the rest of the car. Always test the color on the included card to verify the match against your actual body panels. When applying, keep the container moving to ensure an even distribution of the metallic particles. If the weather is humid, give yourself extra drying time between layers to prevent the finish from becoming cloudy in your garage or shade.
