Jeep Gladiator Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Jeep didn't just release a truck; they released a rolling box of crayons. With 44 recorded colors, they really went for it-from the radioactive glow of Gecko and High Velocity to the "vacation-in-a-bottle" vibes of Bikini and Minty. Whether you're rocking the classic Bright White or the bold Punkn Metallic, your Gladiator was built to stand out, which makes every little rock chip feel like a personal insult to your paint job.
What to Watch For
The Gladiator has the aerodynamics of a garden shed, which means the front grille and hood are basically magnets for road debris. But the real "Jeep thing" to watch for is bubbling paint around the door hinges and hood seams. It's a common quirk where the aluminum panels meet the hardware, so catch those spots early before they decide to flake off. To find your exact match, open the driver's door and look at the jamb for a silver sticker. You're looking for a three-digit code next to the "PNT" or "Paint" label-it usually starts with a 'P' (like PR4 for Firecracker Red).
Driveway Repair Tip
Since so many Gladiator colors are loaded with pearls and metallics-think Hydro Blue or Granite Crystal-you need to give that touch-up bottle a serious workout. Shake it for a full two minutes (set a timer!) to wake up the metallic flakes so they don't all sink to the bottom of the bottle. When you're working on those vertical door hinges, remember that less is more. Use the tip of your applicator to "dab" the color into the center of the chip rather than painting it on. Gravity is your enemy here, so thin layers will keep the paint from running down the door like a sad tear.
