2017 Jeep Touch Up Paint (39 OEM Colors)

The 2017 Jeep Vibe

Welcome to 2017, the year Jeep decided that if a color existed in a box of 64 crayons, it belonged on a Wrangler or a Renegade. Our database is heaving with 39 different shades from this era-a staggering variety that suggests the factory paint booth was busier than a Grand Cherokee on a mall run. From the eye-searing Hypergreen and the retro Chief blue to the desert-ready Gobi and the legendary Plum Crazy Pearl, 2017 was about making a statement before you even shifted into 4-Low. Whether you were rocking a trail-rated Compass or a "Summit" trim Grand Cherokee, the vibe was loud, proud, and probably covered in a little bit of trail dust.

Paint Health Check

We are firmly in The Thin Paint Era, my friends. Back in the day, we sprayed until the panels looked like they were dipped in glass; by 2017, the factory robots were programmed for "Maximum Efficiency," which is just corporate-speak for applying the absolute minimum amount of paint required to hide the primer. This robot-thin application means your 2017 Jeep is a total magnet for rock chips, especially on those vertical Wrangler grills and Cherokee noses. You might also notice some "Orange Peel" texture from the factory-that's the robots rushing the job. And keep a sharp eye on those aluminum hood edges and door hinges; if you see bubbling, that's a factory prep ghost finally coming out of the metal.

Restoration Tip

When you're tackling those inevitable stone chips in Firecracker Red or Granite Crystal, remember: build your layers slowly and don't blob it. Because the factory finish is so lean, a single heavy drop of touch-up paint will sit higher than the surrounding surface, creating a "mountain" effect. Use a fine-tip applicator to build the color in thin, patient stages. It takes longer, but it's the only way to match that tight, robotic factory depth without making your hood look like it's breaking out in hives.
