1969 Jeep Touch Up Paint (3 OEM Colors)

The 1969 Jeep Vibe

1969 was a year of transition on the factory floors. While the rest of the world was staring at the moon, Jeep owners were busy dragging CJ-5s and Wagoneers through the mud of the real world. This was the era of the "Poly"-what we now call metallic-and we've focused our database on the absolute survivors of the year: Empire Blue Poly, Med Aqua, and Spruce Tip Green Metallic. These weren't just colors; they were thick, hardworking finishes designed to look as good at the trailhead as they did in the driveway.

Paint Health Check

We are firmly in the Single Stage Era here. Back in '69, the factory didn't bother with a separate clear coat; they just sprayed the color and the protection in one heavy, solvent-soaked hit. The good news? The paint is thick enough to handle a beating. The bad news? It's a living, breathing thing that hates the sun. If your Jeep looks like it's been dusted with white chalk, that's Oxidation. The UV rays have literally cooked the binders in the paint. Unlike modern cars that peel and flake like a bad sunburn, a '69 Jeep just goes "flat" and dies quietly if you don't feed it.

Restoration Tip

Because this is single-stage paint, you can actually bring the dead back to life. If you've got a chalky fender, don't panic-just reach for the rubbing compound. You aren't just cleaning the surface; you're actually shaving off the dead layer of oxidized paint to reveal the fresh Empire Blue or Spruce Tip Green underneath. But here's the "Salty Painter" truth: It needs wax or it dies. Once you've polished it back to a shine, you've left the "pores" of that old-school finish wide open. Seal it with a heavy coat of high-quality wax immediately, or the air will start eating it again before the weekend is over.
