Where to find Jeep color code

How to Find Your 1983 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.

1983 Jeep Background Info

The 1983 Jeep Vibe

Welcome to 1983, the era when AMC was still fighting the good fight and Jeep was the king of the dirt. Whether you were rolling in a CJ-7, a Scrambler, or a wood-sided Grand Wagoneer, the color palette was pure "Earth Tone Chic." With 15 colors in our database, it's clear Jeep wasn't shy about variety-as long as that variety involved shades of the forest and the desert. We're talking about heavy hitters like Jamaican Beige, Chestnut Brown Metallic, and the legendary Olympic White. It was a time of rugged utility meeting the "Me Generation," where your paint was expected to survive a trail run on Saturday and look decent at the country club on Sunday.

Paint Health Check

Since we're firmly in the Single Stage Era, your 1983 Jeep is wearing its heart on its sleeve. This paint doesn't have a modern clear coat "umbrella" to hide behind. It's an honest, thick acrylic enamel where the pigment and the gloss are mixed into one single layer. The problem? Oxidation. If your Sebring Red or Deep Night Blue looks more like a dusty chalkboard than a shiny 4x4, that's just the paint literally "dying" from UV exposure. Without a protective top layer, the sun bakes the life out of the finish, leaving behind a chalky, hazy residue that makes the whole rig look tired.

Restoration Tip

Here's the deal from the spray booth: that "faded" paint usually has a lot of life left underneath the surface. Before you reach for the touch-up brush, give the area a light buff with a polishing compound. You'll be amazed to find the vibrant Copper Brown Metallic or Sherwood Green hiding under that layer of oxidation. But listen close-once you find that shine, you've got to defend it. In this era, it needs wax or it dies. Without a regular coat of high-quality carnauba or a modern sealant, you're just inviting the chalk back. And for those Low Gloss Black Accent Colors on the trim and flares? Keep them clean and hit them with a UV protectant, or they'll turn grey faster than a politician's hair.
