Jeep Silver Green Poly (529) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color is a time capsule from the height of the AMC era. While modern greens tend to be either military drab or neon bright, this 1974-only shade is a muted, earthy green that carries a distinct silver shimmer. It was used across the entire lineup, from the rugged CJ-5 to the family-oriented Wagoneer. Because your Jeep has likely spent decades outdoors, the original finish might have shifted toward a flatter, darker tone. This metallic green is sophisticated for its time and looks best when the silver flakes are evenly distributed to catch the light without looking like a modern bass boat.

Technical Details

This is a polychromatic finish, which is just a classic way of saying it contains metallic flakes. Metallics are notorious for being temperamental because the flakes are heavier than the paint pigment. If they aren't suspended correctly, they will sink to the bottom of the container or clump together on the surface, creating dark spots or "mottling." This is why your application technique matters more here than with a solid white or black. You want to avoid heavy coats that stay wet for too long, as this gives the silver flakes too much time to move around and settle unevenly.

Best Practices

On these vintage models, you can find the identification tag on the firewall inside the engine compartment or on the driver's side door jamb. Before you spray or dab Jeep Silver Green Poly (check for code 529), you need to shake it for a full minute. This is non-negotiable for a metallic color. Test the color on the included card to see how the silver flakes lay down before you move to the vehicle. Work in the garage or a similar area of shade to keep the surface cool. When applying, keep the container moving to ensure an even flow and prevent the paint from pooling. Build the color in thin, light layers and respect the drying time between each one to keep the metallic finish looking consistent.
