Where to find Jeep color code

How to Find Your 1973 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.

1973 Jeep Background Info

The 1973 Jeep Vibe

By 1973, Jeep was fully leaning into the funky, earthy soul of the seventies. Whether you were piloting a CJ-5 through a canyon or hauling the family in a Wagoneer, the "All Models" lineup wasn't interested in being subtle. The color palette of the year looked like a high-speed collision between a forest and a fruit stand. We've dialed our focus into the real survivors of '73-the colors that defined the era, like the psychedelic Grasshopper Green Metallic and that unmistakable, high-visibility Orange. These weren't just colors; they were safety features for people who planned on getting lost in the woods.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the Single Stage Era. Back in '73, the factory guys were laying down thick coats of acrylic enamel that were designed to take a beating, but they had one major enemy: the sun. If your Jeep has spent the last fifty years out in the elements, you aren't looking at "patina"-you're looking at heavy oxidation. This era of paint tends to "chalk," turning your vibrant Orange into a dusty, pale ghost of its former self. Because there's no clear coat to shield the pigment, the surface becomes porous. If you rub your hand across the hood and it comes away looking like you just touched a chalkboard, your paint is literally starving for protection.

Restoration Tip

Listen close, because this is the golden rule for 1973 iron: It needs wax or it dies. If you're lucky enough to still have original single-stage paint, don't just jump to a respray. You can often "climb back" to that factory shine with a slow, methodical buffing using a high-quality rubbing compound to strip away the dead, oxidized layer. But once you uncover that Grasshopper Green Metallic glory, you have to seal it immediately. Without a regular, heavy coat of carnauba wax to block out the oxygen and UV rays, that fresh shine will vanish faster than a full tank of gas in a 360 V8. Treat the wax like a sacrificial layer-if you aren't sweating while applying it, you aren't doing it right.
