How to Find Your 1997 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.

1997 Jeep Background Info

The 1997 Jeep Vibe

1997 was a bridge between the old guard and the new era. It was the year the Wrangler TJ brought the round headlights back to the trail, and the Cherokee XJ got its "rounded-off" makeover. In the paint booth, we weren't seeing a hundred shades of metallic grey yet-we were shooting the essentials. Our database focuses on the 6 survivors that defined the trail that year. From the workhorse Stone White and Bright White to the iconic Flame Red and the deep Black Crystal, these were the colors of a Jeep that wasn't afraid of a mud hole.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the heart of "The Peeling Era." By 1997, Jeep had fully embraced the basecoat-and-clearcoat system, but the chemistry hadn't quite caught up to the rugged lifestyle. We call the main symptom "Delamination." If your hood or roof looks like it's suffering from a bad sunburn, that's the clear coat losing its grip on the color underneath. On a Flame Red rig, you'll see it go from "Fire Engine" to "Chalky Pink" the second that clear fails. Once the clear lifts and lets the air in, it's only a matter of time before the basecoat follows it into the wind.

Restoration Tip

In this era, your best friend is prevention. If you've got a 1997 Jeep that still has its shine, you need to seal every single rock chip the moment you see it. On these mid-90s finishes, a chip isn't just a beauty mark; it's a "lift point" where moisture and air can get under the clear coat and start the peeling process. Clean the chip, dab in your color to bridge the gap, and keep that clear coat locked down tight. If you wait until the clear is flaking off in sheets, you're not looking at a touch-up anymore-you're looking at a full respray.
