Jeep Walnut Brown Metallic (UW/PUW) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Your Grand Cherokee is wearing a bit of a rarity. Launched as a late-addition option for the 2017 model year, this color was the sophisticated answer for owners who wanted something more organic than the sea of silver and gray in the parking lot. It is an earthy, deep wood tone that makes a Jeep look less like a mall crawler and more like it actually belongs near a trailhead. Since your Jeep has likely spent a few years braving the elements, you will appreciate that this shade is a champion at hiding road grime and dust. It is a mature choice that holds its dignity even when you haven't had time for a wash.

Technical Details

This isn't just a flat brown; it is a true metallic finish packed with fine flakes that catch the light. While that gives the paint its high-end glow, it also makes your repair a bit more technical. Metallics are prone to mottling, which is when the flakes settle unevenly and create dark splotches or stripes. To avoid this, you need to ensure those flakes stay suspended in the liquid rather than sinking to the bottom. If you are too heavy-handed with the application, the color will look darker than the rest of the panel. Light, even coverage is the secret to getting that factory shimmer back.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Jeep Walnut Brown Metallic (check for code UW/PUW), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You should find your paint code on the driver's side door jamb or occasionally on the radiator support under the hood. To ensure the flakes lay down flat and match the surrounding texture, always test the color on the included card before touching the vehicle. When applying, keep the container moving at a steady pace to prevent the metallic particles from pooling in one spot. If you are working in a garage or the shade, give each layer enough drying time so the finish does not get soft or cloudy.
