2022 Jeep Touch Up Paint (54 OEM Colors)

The 2022 Jeep Vibe

By 2022, Jeep was leaning hard into the "adventure aesthetic," offering a massive library of 54 colors that ranged from high-gloss sophistication to trail-ready grit. Whether you were piloting a luxury Grand Wagoneer to a valet stand or dragging a Gladiator through a rock garden, the palette was split between "Tactical Neutrals" and high-impact "Look-at-Me" hues. We saw a lot of love for the flat-earth tones like Ceramic Gray and Baltic Grey Metallic, standing right next to the electric survivors like Bikini Pearl Metallic and Spitfire Orange. It was a year where you could order a Wrangler that looked like a piece of military hardware or a tropical fish, and somehow, both felt perfectly on-brand.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the Thin Paint Era. If you think these modern finishes are bulletproof just because they're fresh off the lot, I've got some bad news for your fenders. By 2022, the factory robots were on a "Micron Diet," spraying layers so thin they're practically transparent to a stray pebble. The real villain of this era isn't just the thinness, though-it's the "bubbling." With the shift toward aluminum panels on Wranglers, Gladiators, and Grand Cherokees, we're seeing a plague of corrosion blisters around hinges and seams. This isn't your grandfather's thick lacquer; it's a high-efficiency shell that's highly susceptible to rock chips and edge-creep if you don't keep an eye on it.

Restoration Tip

Since you're dealing with the robot-thin reality of 2022 factory enamel, the golden rule is: build layers slowly; don't blob it. If you're touching up a chip on that Hydro Blue Pearl or Sarge Green, don't try to fill the crater in one go. You need to mimic that factory efficiency by applying the paint in thin, patient passes, allowing it to level out without creating a hump. Most importantly, seal those chips on the hood and door hinges the second you see them. On these aluminum-heavy models, a tiny chip is an open door for moisture to get under the finish and start the bubbling process that's currently keeping body shops backed up for months.
