Jeep Hard Top Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Jeep kept it focused for the rugged crown of your rig. We've recorded 2 specific finishes: the earthy, trail-ready Dark Khaki (often found in that signature matte finish) and the deep, classic Jet Black. It's a short list, but these colors do the heavy lifting of giving your Jeep its iconic two-tone silhouette.
What to Watch For
Here's the reality: your hard top isn't made of metal; it's a composite material. Because of that, it handles the sun a little differently than your hood does. These tops are prone to "chalking" or UV fading, and in some cases, the paint can start to peel like a bad sunburn after a long week at the beach. When looking for your paint code, check the sticker on your driver-side door jamb. Don't be fooled by the main body color-the hard top often has its own separate 3-digit code listed as a secondary "PNT" or "Trim" identifier.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since many Jeep hard tops have a slight texture or a matte "eggshell" finish, avoid the urge to use long, smooth brush strokes. Instead, use a light "dabbing" motion with your touch-up brush or pen. This helps the paint settle into the natural grain of the top and mimics the factory texture so the repair doesn't stand out as a flat, shiny spot. Also, since these pigments love to settle, shake your paint bottle for a full two minutes-treat it like a workout to ensure the color is perfectly mixed before you touch the roof.
