2004 Jeep Touch Up Paint (37 OEM Colors)

The 2004 Jeep Vibe

In 2004, Jeep wasn't just building SUVs; they were building personalities. Whether it was the boxy TJ Wrangler, the rounded-off Liberty, or the refined Grand Cherokee, they wanted a color for every trail. Our database is tracking 19 different shades for this year alone, which is a lot of pigment for a company that used to think "Green" was a complete sentence. You had the high-impact Flame Red for the beach-goers, the "I'm sophisticated but I still have a winch" Atlantic Blue Pearl, and the king of the mid-2000s: Bright Silver Metallic. Jeep even bothered with specific textures for the hard tops, like Dark Khaki and Black in matte finishes, because they knew you'd be dragging them through the brush.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the peak of the Peeling Era. By 2004, the industry had mastered the basecoat/clearcoat system, but the sun hadn't quite mastered leaving it alone. If you're looking at a 2004 Jeep today, you aren't looking for "chalky" oxidation like the old single-stage rigs; you're looking for Delamination. It starts as a tiny white bubble or a chip on the hood or roof-usually on a dark shade like Midnight Blue Pearl or Black Crystal-and once that clear coat decides to part ways with the color underneath, it spreads like a bad rumor. If your clear looks like it's suffering from a permanent sunburn, that's factory UV failure, and it doesn't just "buff out."

Restoration Tip

In this era, your worst enemy is the "Open Wound." Because the clear coat is the only thing protecting that thin layer of metallic flake, a single rock chip is an invitation for moisture to get under the clear and start lifting it. Therefore, you need to seal chips the second you see them. Don't wait for the weekend. If you see a nick in that Deep Beryl Green or Steel Blue, touch it up immediately to "lock" the clear coat edges down. Once the air gets under there and the clear starts to "snowflake," you're looking at a full sand-and-spray job rather than a simple touch-up.
