2000 Jeep Touch Up Paint (22 OEM Colors)

The 2000 Jeep Vibe

Welcome to the year 2000-a time when we were all bracing for a digital apocalypse that never happened, while the Jeep TJ Wrangler and XJ Cherokee were busy becoming absolute legends on the trail. This was the peak of the "rugged-tech" transition. You weren't just buying a utility box; you were buying a lifestyle. Our database focuses on the survivors that defined the era, from the classic, high-visibility Flame Red to the sophisticated Steel Blue Pearl. Whether it was the utilitarian Stone White or the deep Black Crystal, these colors were designed to look just as good covered in mud as they did sitting in a driveway.

Paint Health Check

Now, let's get real. Your 2000 Jeep was born right in the heart of "The Peeling Era." By this time, manufacturers had moved firmly into basecoat/clearcoat systems, but the bond between those layers wasn't always as solid as a Dana 44 axle. If your Jeep has spent its life outside, you're likely fighting delamination. This is where the clear coat decides it's had enough of the sun and starts flaking off the hood and roof like a bad sunburn. If you're rocking Flame Red, you might notice it getting a bit chalky or "pinkish" once that clear layer fails. It's a classic case of the clear coat protecting the color until it literally gives its life for the cause.

Restoration Tip

If you still have original clear coat, consider yourself lucky-now keep it that way. In this era, the secret is edge control. The moment you see a stone chip, you have to seal it. If you leave a chip open to the elements, moisture and air will crawl under the edges of the clear coat, causing it to "lift" and start that dreaded peeling process. Use a fine-tip brush to dab your touch-up paint into the chip specifically to seal those edges. Think of it like a spot weld for your finish; if you stop the lift now, you won't be sanding the whole hood later.
